Ayron Jones
Ayron Jones (born August 23, 1986) is an American guitarist, singer and songwriter. His music blends elements of grunge, rock, hip-hop, soul and other genres. After years performing in local venues of his hometown Seattle with his trio Ayron Jones and the Way, he was noticed by producer Sir Mix-a-Lot and lead an independent career until he signed with John Varvatos/Big Machine. His first major album was released on May 21, 2021.
As an opening act or fellow participant in festivals, he has shared the stage with names such as B.B. King, Guns N' Roses, the Zombies, Patti Smith, Living Colour, The Presidents of the United States of America, Janelle Monae, Public Enemy, Rakim, Robin Trower, Spearhead, Train, Jeff Beck, Slipknot, Lamb of God, Theory of a Deadman, Run-DMC and The Rolling Stones, Judas Priest and Alice Cooper.
He has participated in festivals such as Download Festival, Bumbershoot, Mount Baker Rhythm and Blues Festival, SXSW, Sasquatch! Music Festival, KISW's Pain In The Grass, and Summer Meltdown, the Heavy Week End 2024 festival in Nancy in France.
Ayron Jones was born at the University of Washington Medical Center to a 19-year-old mother and a father who "was never around". At the age of four, he was adopted by his aunt while his parents struggled with drug addiction.
As a religious person, his aunt surrounded him with soul and gospel music, which instilled a passion for music on him. Jones learned how to play the piano, the drums and the guitar alone and later chose the latter as his main instrument. He also took violin lessons at school, and despite saying that he was "terrible" at the instrument, he recognized that learning it helped him better understand music theory and allowed him to acquire some compositional skills. His first instrument was an acoustic guitar given to him by his mother for his birthday. Later, for his birthday, his aunt bought him a Squier Stratocaster. The first song he learned to play was Lenny Kravitz's "Fly Away".
At the age of 19, Jones started to perform at local bars. He would later recall being treated poorly in some places prior to performing, because he and his band "didn't look like the usual rock band". He also claims that police were called numerous times to intervene in his shows following noise complaints.
In 2010, he founded the trio Ayron Jones and the Way, inspired by important rock trios like Cream, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble and Prince and The Revolution. In 2012, while performing at a dive bar in Seattle, they were discovered by Sir Mix-a-Lot, who made it possible for them to record their debut, self-released album one year later. The effort was titled Dream and featured DeAndre Enrico on bass and Kai Van De Pitte on drums, with Mix-a-Lot producing it pro bono. The album was released on October 29, 2013, with a release show taking place a couple of days later, on November 2.
Following his debut, he was invited to work with Deep Cotton, but rejected an offer to tour extensively with them in order to focus on his solo career. In 2015, his two band members left the group and he decided to continue as a solo musician.
