AbJo

Aaron Nash, better known by his stage name AbJo, is a sonic powerhouse in the current electronic scene. The San Diego native developed his passion for music from a young age, becoming well-versed in a wide range of instruments. During his college years, AbJo utilized his classical training to dive into the realm of music production. In 2010, AbJo connected with Andre Power and Joe Kay, co-founders of the powerhouse music collective Soulection. His 11-track Sankofa EP dropped via Soulection the following year alongside projects from Sango, LAKIM, Ta-ku, Evil Needle, and Insightful, marking his first of many releases with the label. In addition to performances at CRSSD, SXSW and Coachella with the Soulection family, AbJo had a slew of headlining shows in Japan, South Korea, Mexico and Europe in the books. AbJo has also shared the stage with Smino, GoldLink, Blu & Exile, Little Dragon, Lauryn Hill, and Talib Kweli. With production credits for Kweli and Phonte on his resume, AbJo continues to refine his energetic fusion of hip hop, house, and electronic music, imbued with Afro-diasporic and Brazilian influences while maintaining his cultural roots in jazz and classical music.
