It Took Aly & AJ Months to Decide on a Band Name

Aly & AJ stopped by Build Series to chat all about their EP, Ten Years, in New York City on Thursday (February 8).

The two sisters and musicians opened up about finding their new sound and working with two new producers for the projects.

Aly and AJ also opened up about why they decided to keep their band name as Aly & AJ, after starting with that, and then going to 78Violet and back again.

“It was a conversation that probably took a couple months,” AJ shared. “We definitely dealt with some confusion, but when you’re growing as artists and you’re figuring things out, you can’t really judge that.”

She continues, “It’s all the same. You might change your name, your sound, you might change your look…it’s whatever you’re comfortable with and at the end of the day, we took some cues from the people we were working with.”

“We stuck with Aly & AJ because it is who we are and it’s where we started. It’s what people know, it’s the foundation of what we came out with.”
