Speaking to Dajiworld.com, Ajay said, "I always had a dream of composing fully-fledged Hindi songs. I was mentored and guided by the famous Bollywood film director Mohit Suri who has directed films like Aashiqui 2, Ek Villain, Half Girlfriend and Malang. I was then introduced to Universal Music India by him where I got my first break as a music composer for the song 'Teri Yaad' which was released in 2018 under the label ‘Vyrl Originals’. The song had also reached a million of hearts. I next collaborated with a famous music composer ‘Rishi Rich’ and composed a song ‘Ramuni Banamla’ for Telugu film ‘Lovers’."

Ajay is the son of A F Sathish and Janet Vas and brother of Ashwini Vas and hails from MG Road, Ballalbagh in the city. While some people did not believe that he could make a career in the music industry, Ajay’s parents supported his passion and dreams of becoming a music composer.

He moved to Mumbai in the year 2012 to accomplish his dream of becoming a music composer. After completing his sound engineering course from the Digital Academy-The Film School in Mumbai, he began composing several advertising jingles for various production houses in Mumbai.
