10 Questions with ... Ayron Jones1. Thanks for taking the time to answer 10 Questions for All Access. Where does this interview find you today? What's on the agenda besides this interview?
Another day of balancing a blooming music career and daddy duty, per-usual during these unusual times.
2. Let’s start at the beginning. How long have you been playing guitar and when did you decide you wanted to make music for a living?
I’ve been playing guitar for 21 years now. I knew I wanted to make a living playing music from a really young age. As far back as I can remember I've always had it in me to perform for a crowd. Whether it be in sports, in acting or in music, I always wanted to put on a show. At 18, when I got out of high school, I immediately started playing open mics and coffee shops. Oftentimes I wouldn’t make more than 25 bucks and a sandwich but I got to turn some heads you know? At the very least I wasn’t playing for free. The more I played the more I wanted and the shows got bigger and bigger. So I guess the short answer to that question would be, my whole life.
