Ay-Rock – #4ThaFans (Mixtape)

Blessed on this earth on October 17, 1989 in Austin Texas, he seemed born for music. Ay-Rock is a talented artist, producer, and engineer, and hasn’t even reached his peak. He was introduced to music at a young age and began developing his own style. At the age of 9 he began writing poetry as a form of expressing his passion and sharing his thoughts with the world.

These poems quickly transformed to the creation of lyrics. He felt that writing let him get out all his emotions and deal with the obstacles he had to face. As the years passed he began developing his style and creating his flow that can be classified as versatile.

A few years later Ay-Rock spent years working on his craft to become the great producer he is today, creating many tracks in genres that range from rap, r&b, pop, and rock. Everyone who hears his work always has the same remark; “this is Ready To Go”. When he was 15 he created his own studio in his bedroom and was able to run his room as a recording studio to further work on his craft.

As the years passed, Ay-Rock dug deeper into the producing and engineering side of the music industry. He got more interested in mixing and mastering his own music from pre-production to final master. Attending The Art Institute of Washington for his Bachelor’s degree in Audio Production, he began studying the art of audio.

In his own words,” I know how I want music to sound and I wanted to learn how to perfect my music so I wouldn’t have to pay someone else to do it.”. With his skills, he landed a job as an engineer in various studios in the DMV area working with artist such as; Wale, Logic, B.O.B, Maino, Raheem Devaughn, and RaTheMC, just to name a few
