AJ Castillo for the Statesman

AJ Castillo is a rising star in the Tejano music scene.  He was named the Tejano Academy’s best Accordion Player and Best Emerging Artist, and the Tejano Music Awards' Best New Artist of 2010.  The native Austinite recently graduated from the University of Texas San Antonio and released his second CD "On My Way" in June. Not bad for a 25-year-old.  Castillo is bringing an urban style to traditional Tejano music.  I dug his Kayne stylings and I definitely want to bling out my next camera body.
