AJ McLean is well known to millions of people, as he is one of the five members of the Backstreet Boys, who completely took over the nation several decades ago. While the Backstreet Boys are without question one of the biggest boy bands of all time, it has been quite some time since they were in the spotlight.

However, they continue to tour and still sell out arenas, showcasing the fact that they are absolutely still relevant in the eyes of many. While they perform pop music as their musical genre, AJ has made the decision to pursue a solo career in country music. This isn't to say he is done with the Backstreet Boys, but he is exploring other areas that he feels are more closely related to who he is.

One of the reasons he loves country music is the fact that country songs tell stories. AJ is married these days and has several children of his own. He has stated that country music represents how he has grown up and the stories that are told in country songs relate to the family values that are now so important to him. He wants his fans to see what really matters to him, which just so happens to be the wholesome type of image that country music is all about. While he is working on an album to release in the near future, he has already had some collaborations with other country music artists. In essence, AJ feels like country music is closer to his heart and is the type of music he sees himself continuing to work on in the future.

Tons of musicians in the past have made the decision to switch genres. One of the difficult things about making this jump is the fact that there is no telling how fans are going to react. Some music fans prefer their favorite musicians to stay in their original lane and focus on the type of music that made them famous in the first place. However, other fans love to see musicians push themselves and encourage them to evolve and create new types of music. If the past country music that AJ McLean has put out is any indication of what's to come, it looks like he is going to have another successful music career.
