Early life Ajesh was born and brought up in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. His mother found music in him at a very young age and helped him take up Carnatic music vocal lessons. He went on to explore other forms of music later. He did his schooling in Sri Krishnaswamy Matriculation Higher Secondary School and then graduated from Loyola College, Chennai.
Career Ajesh started singing concerts and TV shows at the age of 5 and was thoroughly focused on pursuing music throughout. His first appearance on television was on Sun TV's Sapthaswarangal hosted by A.V.Ramanan in 1994.Since the age of 12 he was part of kids chorus for various composers such as Ilaiyaraaja, A. R. Rahman and Vidyasagar. When he was 19, he was crowned the winner of the popular reality based singing competition ''Airtel Super Singer 2008, AKA the second season of the Airtel Super Singer show'' chosen by the public through voting and also by composer Yuvan Shankar Raja. Later in 2010, Yuvan made Ajesh sing the famous romantic number ''Idhu Varai'' for the Tamil movie ''Goa'', which was his debut song in films. On 1 June 2013 he released an independent music album titled Rain, College, Love - The Connect. He debuted as a composer with the Tamil film ''Paambhu Sattai'' in 2017.The song ''Nee Uravaaga'' from the album sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Haricharan topped the charts for several weeks in Chennai and overseas. Since the film didn't do well at the box office, he had to wait for the right scripts to arrive. Till 2020 he was surviving with a few ads and Indie projects. 2022 happened to be his biggest year yet, he had 4 releases in total. His work for the ZEE5 Original Series Vilangu brought him a lot of praise from film critics as well as the public. He teamed with ace filmmaker Suseenthiran in a film called Kuttram Kuttrame, when 'Iyakkunar Imayam' Director Bharathiraja praised him for his background score.
