Aubrey Ghent Jr., known professionally as AJ Ghent and His Singing Guitar, is a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, sound healer, and producer born in Fort Pierce, FL.

Carrying that legacy forward, AJ has crafted a signature sound that blends R&B, soul, and healing frequencies into a deeply moving and immersive experience. Though his music defies traditional genre boxes, it remains rooted in the rich traditions of soul and rhythm & blues, infused with uplifting energy and a modern twist. His ability to make his guitar sing like a human voice has captivated audiences around the world, with viral videos amassing millions of views on TikTok and Instagram. Songs like “Let the Guitar Sing,” “Peace of Mind,” and “Singing Guitar Vibes” have become anthems for those seeking calm, clarity, and positivity. Beyond social media, AJ’s music has resonated globally. His work has been featured in national campaigns for Starbucks and was selected by the creators of HBO’s Game of Thrones for their official Spotify playlist curated to offer subtle clues about how the final season would unfold.
