AJ Mitchell is going girl crazy in the “Girls” music video, and you can watch it right here!
The 17-year-old Illinois-bred rising star released the visual for his latest track on Thursday (August 16), which is also featured on his debut EP, Hopeful.
“I want people to dance and be able to relate to my music. Girls give me a lot to write about,” AJ says of “Girls.”
AJ, who just inked a deal with Epic Records earlier this year, is set to perform at Arthur Ashe’s Kids Day on August 25 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in flushing, New York.
“I guess being Hopeful has kind of been an idea in my whole journey in music so far. I started to notice my friends are all pursuing dreams; acting, singing, dancing, politics, doing stuff on social media. Kids are having a voice and people are paying attention. And well…I think it started as hoping people would be into the covers I was posting. Then I was Hopeful that people would like my music, come see me play live, and sing along to my lyrics. Putting out this music is something I’ve been Hopeful about for a while. I’m just so excited to share it with my fans and everyone,” he says.
AJ also recently posed for a RAW shoot and discussed his music career and played RAW’s Word Play. Check it out!

AJ Mitchell just dropped his debut EP and you need to hear it!
After months of hard work, the 17-year-old musician is ready to share Hopeful with the world and he can’t wait to know what everyone thinks.
“I can’t tell you how excited I am about this release! These songs each show a different piece of me as an artist and, HOPEFULLY, will show both old fans and new a bit about who I am growing into,” AJ exclusively told JJJ.
He added, “It’s crazy to me that I’ve had some of these songs ready for 6 months and some only 6 weeks but everyone is about to hear it all for the first time! But for real, my favorite song on the EP changes almost every day. I’m most excited to see which song is the fan favorite!”
