Here’s more about Aaron

* He’s 27 and a veteran musician from Rochester, N.Y., who’s currently based in the Atlanta area.

* And he’s already released lots of music Voice fans can check out now, including three full albums.

* Those include “Blck Tee Shrt” from 2017, “Mirror Talk Blue” from 2021 and, most recently, an eight-song collection called “Anchor” that dropped in 2023. Check out the impressive “Cuse Song” from that latest album below.

* He’s also a producer who has collaborated on dozens of songs with other artists, according to his web bio.

* That bio says his original music has been featured on the TV shows “Shameless” and “Black-ish” and in a T-Mobile advertisement.

* He also created the soundtrack for a film called “Optic Nerve” in 2020. Like his albums, that soundtrack is available on streaming sites.

* His Voice bio says Aaron was inpired to learn guitar at age 9 by listening to album’s in his father’s vinyl collection.

* He formed his first band at 14, playing lead guitar and preferring to stay in the background until the lead singer departed and he discovered his passion for singing.

* Aaron was featured in Shoutout Atlanta last spring and said this about his music: “Much of my art and writing trickles down from my battles with mental health, relationships and the innate hardships of being a human. For much of my life, I faced some incredibly dark periods of deteriorating mental health, only to be pulled out by the gift of music. When something like that becomes the one thing keeping your head above the water, a profound bond is formed that will never be broken.”

Update: Aaron is planning to release a new single called “Mouth Breather” soon and is encouraging fans to pre-save the song.
