A.J. Masters was raised in Southern California and currently lives on a small farm just outside Nashville, TN with his lovely wife and family. At age 14 he learned to play bass guitar in his older brother’s band. Over the next twenty years, he wrote songs and performed in various bands, duos, and as a soloist. Being both a singer and a songwriter was a very important part of his musical development.
AJ signed with an independent record label, Bermuda Dunes Records. Within three years he had 10 charted singles, was voted Independent Male Vocalist of the Year, and was nominated by the Academy of Country Music for New Male Vocalist. He also performed on the New Faces Show with Lyle Lovett, Dwight Yoakum, Keith Whitley and Sweet Hearts of the Rodeo. Some of AJ's songwriting honors include BMI Millionaire Award for "Change My Mind", multi platinum award for "Love Ain't Like That", independent song of the year for "We're Here to Stay", and nominated for a Nammy for "Buffalo".
During the early 90's, AJ played accoustic guitar for the great Charlie Rich. These days AJ can be found singing and playing songwriter shows, festivals, and house concerts throughout the country. He can also be heard playing guitar or bass on the road or in the studio with Jennifer Hanson, Ray Scott, Steve Azar, or Charlie Rich Jr.
AJ is a lifetime member of NSAI and has written songs recorded by Faith Hill, The Oak Ridge Boys, Randy Travis, Diamond Rio, John Berry, Charlie Rich Jr., Ronna Reeves, Gene Watson, Ray Scott, Zona Jones, Steve Azar, Jo-El Sonnier, Fat Boy, Frazier River Band, Jennifer Hanson, and Georgia Middleman.

Recording EDGe made a major recording studio upgrade. We ripped everything out of the performance room and added a ton of soundproofing. We added the latest and greatest Auralex absorption/diffusion sound treatment products to the Recording EDGe performance room giving it a nice alive sound. We couldn’t find a top of the top line Brauner microphone in the valley so Recording EDGe purchased a Brauner VMX microphone. We added a GK Industries ISO booth to capture your intricate nuances in unbelievable clarity and warmth. We also invested in a Lynx Aurora 16 AD/DA mastering converter along with the latest Steinberg recording and mastering software.
