Early life

DJ Ashba was born Daren Jay Ashba on the 10th of November, 1972 in Monticello, Indiana, United States. He spent his childhood days growing up in Fairbury, Illinois. Ashba was introduced to music by his mother since he was a toddler. His mother was actually a classically trained pianist. When he reached five, he performed in his first piano recital where he played Beethoven’s song Ode to Joy.

Ashba’s interest in music was growing as he grew up. After excelling in piano, he had the ambition to learn the drums. He used to gather garbage cans, pots, and pans and used to play drums out of it. When he became six years old, he got the real drum set. He purchased his first guitar at 8 years of age on his own by taking a job where he was responsible for detasseling corn in the fields. While doing the job, he was introduced to the guitar by the guitarist from a local band who used to teach him while traveling on the same bus through which he used to get on his job.

Ashba decided that he would perform live with the rock band one day when his father took him to the concert on his 16th birthday. He was absolutely mesmerized by the crowd, music, lights, and musical environment. When he turned 18, he moved to Hollywood and started his musical journey.
