Notes
Aj Green suffers from Sickle Cell Disease. It's a condition that can cause severe pain, and it is a hardship AJ must deal with on a daily basis. Of course, you would never know it. AJ refuses to let his condition get him down or silence him. In fact, he uses it as a source of strength and determination. AJ's album Whatever You Need came about when top producers, musicians and industry people heard both his story and his voice and decided that they'd like to be involved. Producer Rob Chiarelli (Janet Jackson, Christina Aguilera, Will Smith, Madonna and Mary Mary) saw a showcase where was appearing on behalf of Make A Wish Foundation. AJ sang two songs and Rob was hooked. Calling in favors from Grammy winning writers to top recording studios, all donating their talents and services to the project, one by one they all said the same thing: 'whatever you need, count me in'. The result is a collection of 10 unique songs that cover pop/rock, R&B and even contemporary Christian songs that together demonstrate this young artist's unique voice and his ability to interpret and make each song his own. Says the singer himself, 'I don't want my music to be only about my pain or my hurt. I want it to be about victory over any situation... to let you know that no matter what you may be experiencing, you will make it through.'
