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. He was part of the children's orchestra group Issai Mazhalai founded by Abhaswaram Ramjhi, where he got the exposure to sing in front of various audiences. He was also part of kids chorus for various composers like Ilaiyaraaja, A. R. Rahman and Vidyasagar. When he was 14, he got the privilege to perform in front of the Honorable ex-President Shri A.P.J.Abdul Kalam at Rashtrapathi Bhavan in Delhi, a memory which he so fondly holds till date. When he was 19, he was crowned the winner of the popular reality based singing competition Airtel Super Singer 2008, chosen by the public through voting and also by composer Yuvan Shankar Raja. In the following few months, Yuvan made Ajesh sing his debut song Idhu Varai for the Tamil movie Goa, which went on to become a chartbuster. On 1 June 2013 he released his 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 on radio for several weeks. 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. Since then he has worked on several projects, teaming up with various directors including ace filmmakers like Suseenthiran and Radha Mohan, one of which caught the eye of 'Iyakkunar Imayam' Bharathiraja, who praised him for his background score work.
