Ajesh started singing concerts and TV shows at the age of 5 and was very focused on pursuing music throughout.

Later in 2010, Yuvan made Ajesh sing the famous romantic number Idhu Varai for the Tamil movie Goa,[4][5] which was his debut song in films. On 1 June 2013 he released an independent music album titled Rain, College, Love - The Connect.[6] He debuted as a composer with the Tamil film Paambhu Sattai in 2017.
