Croce's first paying gig was at the age of 12, when he was paid $20 ($53.45 in 2019 worth) to perform at a bar mitzvah party. By the age of 16, Croce was performing regularly at San Diego nightclubs as a sideman and band leader. Croce reflected, "I was into every kind of music... you might say I was unfocused, but I consider an eclectic taste in music to be the foundation of versatility." Ron Goldstein and Peter Baumann of Private Music signed Croce to his first recording contract at age 19. He recorded two albums for Private Music: his self-titled debut, A. J. Croce, produced by T-Bone Burnett and John Simon, and That's Me in the Bar, produced by Jim Keltner, and featuring Ry Cooder and David Hidalgo. Croce is also the owner/operator of his own record label, Seedling Records.

2018 was the hardest year of my life. It began with me having very bad health and just as I was recovering, Marlo (my wife of 24 years) died of a rare and sudden heart virus. My muse, my best friend and the mother of our children is gone, it’s hard for me even to believe it as a [sic.] write. For all of my friends out there I wouldn't have made it if it wasn't for you. Thank you all for giving me love and hope. 2019 will surely be a better year. Happy New Year and Peace to you all from Nashville, TN.

In 2013, Croce signed with Compass Records and released Twelve Tales. He recorded two songs with each of six producers in five U.S. cities throughout a yearlong period, simultaneously releasing one song per month exclusively on iTunes in 2013.

Croce's albums have charted on eight radio charts including AAA, Blues, College, Jazz, and Americana.

Adrian James "A.J." Croce (born September 28, 1971) is an American singer-songwriter. He is the son of Ingrid Croce and the late Jim Croce.

Croce was born in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, on September 28, 1971, and his early years were filled with tragedy. His father died in a plane crash eight days before his second birthday, and he and his newly-widowed mother had to move to San Diego, almost 3,000 miles from his native city and the rest of his family. Two years later, he was completely blinded as the result of serious physical abuse at the hands of his mother's boyfriend. (According to his mother's autobiography, "When our son Adrian James was almost four, he suffered a brain tumor syndrome and went blind.") He did, however, gradually regain vision in his left eye and found respite in learning to play the piano. "I learned to play music by listening and playing along to the radio and to records. At some point I was given the music of Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder as inspiration, which it was, and has been ever since." When he was 15 the house in which he had lived for most of his life burned down.
