Project X

AJ Sotelo is a producer and hip-hop artist from Las Vegas, Nevada, blending the grit of boom bap with the raw power of heavy electronic music. Born in San Francisco and raised in Las Vegas, he grew up playing American football under the guidance of his father, who also served as his coach. The discipline and leadership he developed on the field became the foundation of his artistry.

After stepping away from sports and embarking on a personal journey of growth, AJ discovered his true passion in creativity and influence. Though he first pursued business, music became the outlet where he found his voice—using sound as a way to inspire and connect.

AJ’s style bridges two worlds: lyrical, storytelling hip hop and hard-hitting EDM. Influenced by pioneers like Zomboy, Skrillex, Eminem, Logic, Beast Coast, and J. Cole, he crafts music that fuses aggressive dubstep drops with sharp, authentic bars. The result is a sound that is both intense and deeply personal.

Now carving his own lane, AJ Sotelo creates with one clear purpose: to make music that challenges, motivates, and moves people—whether through the pulse of boom bap or the chaos of tearout dubstep.
