We talk to Ajay Popoff - Lead Singer of the band LIT. At just eight years old, Ajay and his older brother Jeremy would see their first Iron Maiden concert and from that moment on their futures would be sealed. Taking their dreams from Orange County to Hollywood's Sunset Strip in the late 1980s, the young brothers and bandmates Kevin Baldes and Al Shellenberger would begin making a name for themselves, selling out shows and building a huge following. As the 1990s arrived they realised a full band makeover was needed to grow their sound and later that decade the world would witness their '10 year overnight success story' as the song 'My Own Worst Enemy' would become one of the most well known rock tracks of their generation with a legacy that continues to this day.
