AJ Luca

If you tell AJ Luca that her album The Table makes you fall asleep, she’ll take it as a compliment. Not that the music is boring or slow…but because this intimate, meditative album was crafted to quiet the anxiety in your mind and bring you to a place of rest. “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies” (Psalm 23) is the inspiration for these songs. We may not have many physical enemies in our personal lives, but fear, depression, and intrusive thoughts threaten our peace, and music is a powerful weapon. AJ is a Philly-based singer-songwriter whose work draws upon her multi-disciplinary background as a jazz musician, musical theater performer, and worship leader. You’ll hear bits of all these influences in her music - but what you’ll hear most is a pursuit of God that brings peace, confidence and trust. In addition to producing her own music, AJ is a songwriter for City Life Worship (new live album YES, GOD) and Resonate Worship, a professor of jazz at The University of the Arts, musical collaborator at historic synagogue Rodeph Shalom, and a worship pastor who loves to witness the power of congregational singing.
