Born and raised in Westchester NY, AJ Rockafeller spent the earliest years of his life in Mt.Vernon with his parents. When he was 4 years old his family moved to the suburbs of Greenburgh NY where he would spend his most formative years . At age 5 his father passed away but left an imprint that he would carry for the rest of his life.
The impact of losing his biggest role model made AJ begin to gravitate towards the arts and he fell in love with music. As he got older he began to write his own songs inspired by artist such as Biggie, Nas, Kanye West, Andre 3000, etc.
AJ Rockafeller met Monopaly in high school in 2005 when they were in 10th grade. Brought together by their shared passion for all things music they eventually began to work together. By their senior year started to lay the foundation for what would eventually become their Stadium Status Imprint.
After high school AJ dropped out of college after his first semester anxious to pursue music full time, but success was much more difficult to achieve than he had anticipated. The next few years would prove to be a humbling learning experience for AJ, honing his skills as a lyricist and songwriter, while adjusting to the business side of the industry in efforts to establish a name for himself and get Stadium Status off the ground.
