Music – Calgary

AJ PALLAS is a profoundly grateful singer/songwriter with a passion for sharing music and engaging in the amazing experience of life. With a versatile mix of cross genre pieces in country, adult contemporary and folk, AJ hopes the music he brings to the world will move you, embrace your emotion and ignite your potential. Writing songs since ‘99, AJ has been “singing my whole life” and also leverages his unique voice and skillset across many roles and occupations beyond music. Born in Edmonton, he has also lived in Sherwood Park, Ottawa, Calgary (now back in Calgary), Revelstoke and most recently the lower mainland of British Columbia. AJ is pleased and proud to share his two newest singles “Gold Coin” and "Piece of You". "Gold Coin" is an upbeat, fun, make you want to bounce around song with an interesting story to go along. He says, “When moving a few years back, I found my old (and very messy) collection of trinkets and coins while packing. It immediately brought me back to my childhood and the great memories of spending time with Grandma Pallas. We would always do and make interesting things, go interesting places, and one day she gave my brother and me some coins to play with. That memory jumped into my head along with a catchy little melody and a song was born!”. "Piece of You" is a ballad inspired partially by witnessing all of the homeless people out in the cold when you walk (my dogs) in different areas of Calgary. I believe you need love to live and I wonder how they make it, when it seems so cold and lonely living on the street or in a tarp tent on the green belt. “Gold Coin” & "Piece of You" are AJ’s newest material following his first album “Take Me”, which features the songs “Top of My World”, “I Wonder”, “Take Me” and also the original video (YouTube) for “All Right” produced by Calgary's own Kelly Brothers. From the same album, “Without Your Love” has also been used for a national Heart and Stroke Foundation project.
