Artist Biography

Early life
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 by his neighbor. Later, he bought himself a Squier Stratocaster. The first song he learned to play was Lenny Kravitz's "Fly Away".
At the age of 19, he 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.
