Musician

Leon Ayers Jr.

Born:

Leon Ayers Jr. Keyboardist, Producer and Composer, was born and raised in the heart of Motown, the Motor City - Detroit, Michigan. Being inspired by musical greats such as George Duke, Stevie Wonder, Oscar Peterson, and Alex Bugnon led Leon to develop a deep passion for music at a very young age. As a child, Leon recall’s “I would listen to the radio and when a popular hit song was being played, I would attempt to pluck out the various instruments that made up the song. I always felt a great sense of accomplishment from being able to distinguish the individual instruments, hooks, and beats that made the song.” It was this sense of accomplishment that instituted Leon’s drive to play and create music as much as he possibly could. Leon honed his musical skills and talents by attending Detroit’s Center for Creative Studies and enrolling in classes centered on musical composition and jazz theory at Gross Pointe Conservatory and Wayne State University
