Dj ASHBA: 2010

Sunday, December 5, 2010

"Surround yourself with positive, good-hearted people. Remember, your life is too short and valuable to waste on negative people that spend their lives trying to drag others down to make themselves feel relevant.
Don't let anybody stand between you and your dreams... NOBODY. Were all here for a reason. Stay true to your heart and it won't steer you wrong." Dj Ashba

Dj ASHBA talked about Axl Rose on Twitter (http://twitter.com/DjASHBA):

"Nobody will ever realize the amount of bullshit that Axl gets thrown at him on a daily basis. If you only knew the half of it, you would understand. Trust me I don't know anyone out there that could deal with what he has to, to keep a monster like Guns N' Roses rolling and still get on stage and perform like he does. My hat goes off to him. I have nothing but respect for Axl, and always have, even before I joined the band. He is one of the few living legends of our time. He is the real deal, like it or not, he stands for what he believes and wears his heart on his sleeve. He is all about his fans, we all are....thats why we give 200% every concert we do. We love you guys more than life, and we could never thank you enough for all the love and support. See you all soon, until then Im going to sit back, buckle up and enjoy the most dangerous, reckless roller coaster ride of my life!"

This is the note that Dj wrote to his mom and dad on the back of a jackalope's head, before he went on tour with Guns N' Roses to Europe, on August 2010...

Ovation is proud to offer four new Limited Edition models - "The Demented Collection", designed by renowned guitarist Dj ASHBA.

"I have been playing Ovation guitars for more than 20 years. When I was given the opportunity to design my own signature instrument for Ovation, I took the challenge very seriously. My goal was to design an amazing guitar from head to toe - featuring my personal graphics along with the best features from all the different Ovations that I've played crammed into one guitar. One guitar quickly turned into four and The Demented Collection was born. From the wood to the hardware and tone to the graphics, The Demented Collection truly represents the ULTIMATE acoustic/electric Ovation guitars!" - Dj ASHBA

The Demented Collection four models are:
- Bone Daddy
- Ashbaland
- Bone Yard
- Chrome Bone

Available at http://www.AshbaSwag.com

All demented series guitars come with an Ovation padded bag with "ASHBA" logo.

The Demented Collection
Guitars designed by Dj ASHBA
"BONE DADDY"
(model DJA 34-BDY)

Available at http://www.AshbaSwag.com

"The graphic for the Bone Daddy model was inspired by my neck tattoos - a stitched up heart on one side and a skull with roses on the other. My tattoo includes a banner that reads "Demented Mind"- I wanted the artwork to be the perfect combination of the three tattoos. We tied the graphic together with some barb wire and the result is an extremely colorful and vibrant graphic that just pops!"

I created this website in honor of my idol, the great guitarist Dj ASHBA, member of the bands "Guns N' Roses" and "Sixx:A.M.".

In addition to his musical talents, Dj is an equally gifted graphic designer.

Dj ASHBA is an Award-Winning Guitarist, Producer, Songwriter, Composer, Multi-Platinum Recording Artist, Graphic Design Entrepreneur and CEO of ASHBA Media.

His creative agency, ASHBA Media, has clients including Virgin Entertainment, Royal Underground, Eleven Seven Music and Sony Playstation among others.

BIOGRAPHY

Ashba was born in Monticello, Indiana and was raised in rural Fairbury, Illinois by his religious single-mother, a classically trained pianist, who began teaching him about music as a toddler. Dj performed in his first piano recital at the age of five, where he played Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy.” Ashba’s next ambition was to learn the drums. He built kits out of garbage cans and pots and pans, until he finally acquired a real set at the age of six. When he was eight, Dj took a job detasseling corn in the fields in order to earn enough money to buy his first guitar out of the Sears catalog. He would ride to his job in the corn fields on the bus with a guitar player from a local band, who would teach him a new chord each day on a “fret” that they had carved into the back of a bus seat with a pocketknife. His friend would take the knife and make three holes in the fret and say, “That’s an A chord, go home and practice.” Dj sometimes spent 17 hours a day practicing guitar in his bedroom as a teenager.

For his 16th birthday, Ashba’s father took him to his first concert, the Motley Crue Girls, Girls, Girls tour and his life was forever changed. “The crowd, the music, the lights! It was the night I realized that no matter what it takes, I was gonna be on that stage one day.” At the age of 19, Dj packed up his possessions and set out for Hollywood to make it as a rockstar. He joined the band Barracuda and toured for two years before leaving to do his first instrumental solo record “ASHBA: Addiction to Fiction.” He describes that album as “It was a huge learning experience. I learned a lot about, recording, writing and the music business.”

In 2001, Ashba co-founded the band Beautiful Creatures with Bang Tango front man Joe Lesté. The band was signed to Warner Brothers Records and played their first show with Kiss on their farewell tour in front of 60,000 fans. The band went on to play Ozzfest, the Rolling Rock tour and dates with Marilyn Manson. Beautiful Creatures’ songs appeared in the films ROLLERBALL and VALENTINE, as well as the television show “Smallville.”

In 2003, DJ founded Ashba Media, Inc. (AMI), a creative design agency. AMI beat 110 agencies to become the agency of record for Virgin Megastores, and are responsible for the look and feel of each store. In addition to Virgin, other AMI clients include Ovation Guitars, Royal Underground clothing and Sony Playstation. In 2005, Ashba founded Ashbaland, the production company in which he writes and produces music. Ashba has worked with artist such as Mötley Crüe, Neil Diamond, Run-DMC and Drowning Pool. He co-produced and wrote on Motley Crue’s SAINTS OF LOS ANGELES album, which was nominated for a Grammy in 2007.

Ashba then teamed up with Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx and James Michael to create the band Sixx: A.M. (Sixx, Ashba, Michaels). They released the critically acclaimed HEROIN DIARIES SOUNDTRACK in 2007, and their single “Life is Beautiful” reached #1 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. While the group originally had no intention of touring, they took the opportunity to join Mötley Crüe's Crüe Fest in the Summer of 2008 along with Buckcherry, Papa Roach and Trapt. Sixx: A.M. is currently working on their long-awaited follow up album which will be released in 2010.

It was announced in March on 2009 that Ashba would be the new guitarist of Guns N' Roses. Since joining the band, Ashba has toured Canada, Asia, South America, Central America and Europe in support of their latest album, CHINESE DEMOCRACY!!!
