Leon Ayers Jr. Keyboardist, Producer and Composer, was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, also known as Motown.  Leon was inspired by musical greats George Duke, Stevie Wonder, Oscar Patterson, Jeff Lorber and Alex Bugnon.  As a child, Leon recalls, " 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.  The ability to distinguish the various instruments, hooks and beats gave me a great sense of pride and accomplishment that would inspire a deep desire to create music".

 

Leon honed his musical talent by attending Detroit's Center for Creative Studies, Grosse Point Conservatory and Wayne State University.  By performing at several local clubs, Leon quickly became a well-known and respected keyboardist throughout the Detroit metropolitan area. Soon, artists such as the Floaters, Jones &Matthews of the Platters, Mark Channing, and Alicia Meyers recognized Leon's "Smooth Urban Jazz "style and began to request that he accompany them on tour.
