Why do I call him 'the Internet Celebrity?' Well, I’ll tell
you a little bit about him..
He is a Filipino-American musician. He is a songwriter and a
singer. He started posting his music on MySpace and YouTube in 2006. In 2012,
his YouTube channel has over 390,000 subscribers and over 82,000,000 viewers!
He has released his original songs along with Live Music Videos since 2008. Most of them have over 300,000 viewers! He is now
famous and currently has his own concert tour around the world.
Let’s talk about his music.
He has just released his first full-length album, AJ Rafael Red Roses, in 2011. In this album, he usually wrote songs based on real situations that ever happened to him. His
guitar and vocal skills are awesome! It’s hard to explain so.. I’ll let you guys listen to one of my favorite songs, "Without You".

First time when I listened to this song along with the Music Video, one question came up in my mind "Is he really the Indy?". His work, his style and his production are totally perfect!

"Red Roses" is one of my favorite songs. The lyrics is simple but cute and very touching. As I stated above, he usually writes songs from his real experiences. He wrote this song after he met a girl from UCLA and all feelings just came out through this song.
What I like about him is not just his abilities but his thoughts and his ideas. His artist career was born from the Internet, moreover, he always use the Internet as a tool for promoting his event and also obtaining his fans to support many non-profit organizations. He has been working for a non-profit organization, Autism Speaks, for many years. Also, he is a big supporter for many charities and non-profit organizations. He believes that music is universal language. Music is a great tool to bring people together, to make people believe and love. Most events he created aimed at raising funds for non-profit organizations. He also created the online event called "Music Speaks" aimed at educating and raising awareness for autism. This event was broadcasted Live on AJ Rafael's UStream Channel.
Well, this is the one and only "AJ Rafael". Cheers!
