A.J.E

The music video has been one of the most evolving and consistent part of the Nigerian music industry. It has been one of the most challenging, but yet most rewarding of them all.
Yes, the music videos from Nigeria has been one of the best in Africa, winning almost all awards on the continent. 

Now, most of us attach the A.J.E brand to that boy we once knew on the street corners of Uyo, Akwa Ibom state without any future ambition. Some of the others know him as that Calabar-Lagos video wonder boy. A.J.E, one of the most popular names on our television screens when it comes to music videos in Nigeria, from Soundcity, Mtv base and even the new African entrant, Trace Africa. 

Well, this is not some sort of autobiography about this young man who has found his way everyday on our lips, but of  celebrating a young talented individual has impacted his generation with his hard work through consistency and improvement of his God-given ability.

Real names Ani James Etkins popularly by friends known as A.J.E of A.J.E Films fame has become a force to reckon with in the Nigerian music video business, a small god if you may call him so. He works are so numerous too mention but recently include; “More than a million”- Ark, “Ariwoko”- Freestyle”, “Enemies”-Durella and the most recent of them all...
“Roll”- Rayce, “Ara”-Brymo and “Carolina”- Sauce Kid...the last two being for 2012.

He is just a typical example of work before play, coupled with passion to get tings done the proper way, a model of the true creative Nigerian spirit for the world to envy. He has come to stay and to continue in making us proud through his motion works...A.J.E, let the films reel!
