AJ Rafael & The Band Interviews w/ Nicki Sun

In this extensive clip, Nicki Sun had the chance to interview not only AJ Rafael but his entire band as well for her Now You Know segment. There’s a lot of information of both the informative and miscellaneous variety but I imagine most hardcore AJ fans wouldn’t mind. Lucky for you, Nicki’s provided a breakdown of the topics at hand including the album Red Roses, various performances & tour dates and more… so check after the break for all the info.

What a treat to have AJ Rafael and his ENTIRE band for an in-depth interview in my cubicle! I decided to upload the full interview on YouTube and because of it’s length, I have labeled the topics below for your viewing convenience (However, die-hard fans would already watch the WHOLE thing!).

We get to see each band member talk about a range from their favorite songs, Billboard Music Awards, and band secrets to working with Jesse Barerra, Emma Watson, and turning Autism Speaks into an actual non-profit. Also, are the members single?

Thanks again to AJ Rafael, Noah Bartfield, Danny Morledge, and Andrew Rhim for taking the time to sit-down for one of the funnest interviews I’ve ever had in addition to letting me give away a copy of their album signed by all of them!

*Contest Description:
