About

Asphalt Jones is a man that is literally from everywhere.  He was raised by a Veteran mother who valued the greatness/strength in our diversity.    Asphalt immersed himself with all of those values and put them into play real time.   This along with walking the asphalt “everywhere” is exactly what has shaped him musically and beyond.  

Asphalt Jones came to the streets of Hollywood  with a suitcase/guitar,  and began his journey into the belly of the music industry.   He started off as a guitar tech, working for some of the biggest bands on the sunset strip.  Even though he had musical aspirations of his own, he knew that he had to learn things from the street up.   He had to put his feet to the Asphalt, struggle, adapt, grow, and be coachable.   He had to walk 10,000 blocks of destiny, and walk uphill a thousand times.      That hill was Sunset and Clark… the block that spawned some of the greatest bands in the history of the world.   

All of these events eventually forged Asphalt  into a recording artist, playing guitar in a band he founded called Asphalt Messiah.  They were heard throughout the world on international radio , have performed live opening for major artists, and eventually signed a distribution deal with the Universal Music group.   

However, it was time for new challenges!  So he now has fully stepped out on his own as a solo artist, ready  to introduce Asphalt Jones to planet earth!   "Dead Boy Hall of Fame" is a song about being a Sheppard , and defending "your flock" at all costs.  -  Asphalt Jones
