A Journey in the Music Industry: Meet Amond "AJ" Jackson

Amond "AJ" Jackson aka #AJontheButtons is the founder of Salem Psalms, a professional audio company that is most well known for its excellence in recording, mixing, and mastering audio for music and film, as well as its professional studio designs and acoustic solutions. AJ's reputation for his gift of understanding the technical complexities of sound and uncanny ability to translate it in a way that would make sense to anyone is what has drawn producers, artists, songwriters, filmmakers and engineers across multiple disciplines and genres to trust him with their ideas.

To date, he has received multiple awards for sound design in independent films and has tackled song mixes for artists Future, Young Thug, Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg, Method Man, Fat Joe, Ceelo Green, Killer Mike, David Banner, and Tee Grizzley, as well as corporations such as CNBC, Kellog, Ebony, and Walmart...just to name a few.

In addition to his winding journey from completing his GED to selling car stereos to having a career in the music industry, AJ also shares:

1. How his love and talent for creating music gave him solace during challenging times in high school while his parents were going through a bad divorce and loved ones became suicidal

2. A very interesting way to determine if you might have astigmatism (and need to get your eyes professionally examined)

3. How important relationships are for anyone wanting to work in the music industry and the approach he's successfully taken

4. The litmus test to determine if a career is right for you
