Seattle singer, songwriter, and guitarist Ayron Jones plays a fiery amalgam of Jimi Hendrix-inspired guitar wizardry, heavy grunge grooves, and a hard blues-rock feel with occasional detours into hip-hop and soul. Emerging in early 2010 fronting the power trio Ayron Jones and the Way, his first outing was produced by Sir Mix-A-Lot. He was later signed as a solo artist by Big Machine Group and made his major-label debut with 2021's Child of the State which featured the number one rock hit "Mercy." Within a year, he was releasing singles from his next album, including the charting "Filthy."
