Ay-Rock describes himself as a producer, songwriter and engineer. he's originally from Austin, Texas but is currently based in Maryland. Through his engineering work, he's already collaborated with artists like B.O.B., Wale, and Maino, but now he's looking to make his name as a solo artist. Today, he's submitted "Dreams," a Yonni-produced record that puts his ambitions at the forefront. The creeping key-riff on the instrumental is bolstered by some impossibly big sub-bass, while Ay-Rock nimbly navigates the dancing piano, proving he has as much technical ability as he does style. We'll be keeping an eye on his next moves. Let us know what you think of him in the comments below.
Quotable Lyrics:
I work all my life just to get to this
Stuck to the script, it's ridiculous
Now that I'm moving
These bitches is choosing
These n*ggas is losing
Just settle your differences - Trevor Smith

Boen 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 as a form of escaping the troubles of reality, expressing his passion and sharing his thoughts with the world. They 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 only be classified as versatile.

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 collective skills, he landed jobs as an engineer in various studios in the DMV area working with artist such as; Wale, B.O.B, Maino, Raheem Devaughn, Logic, Shy Glizzy, & many more
