Originally from Mississippi, DJ Ayres got his start in upstate New York spinning hip-hop on college radio and at parties. He is known for playing a wild range of music, from rap to house, bass, reggae, rock-n-roll and classics. On top of promoting and DJing at The Rub, Ayres rocks parties all over the US and releases a new best-selling mix CD every month. Music has always been in Ayres's blood. His grandfather composed classical music and conducted the Greenville Symphony Orchestra; and his uncle is a rock musician and producer.
