American funk/soul/jazz composer, vibraphone player, and artist. Roy Ayers was born on 10 September 1940 in Los Angeles, California, USA. With a musical upbringing thanks to his trombone playing father and piano teaching mother, Ayers became immersed in music from an early age.

Throughout his career as a prolific recording artist, Ayers has produced numerous hits including "Everybody Loves The Sunshine" and "Running Away". He has also collaborated with renowned musician Fela Kuti on the track "Africa - Centre Of The World", showcasing his versatility and talent across various genres.

In addition to his own success, Ayers is also known for being the father of Roy Ayers III. With a massive back catalogue of work and a unique blend of funk, soul, and jazz influences, Roy Ayers continues to captivate audiences worldwide with his exceptional musical abilities.

Following in the footsteps of his famed brother Madlib, Oh No has become one of the most celebrated independent hip-hop artists of the 21st century. His storied career has included not only rap success but an impressive resume behind the boards, with production credits for Mos Def, Freddie Gibbs, De La Soul, Action Bronson, Talib Kweli, Ab-Soul, and more. 

An innovator in the art of sampling with a history of exploring diverse source material, Oh No is now back with Good Vibes / Bad Vibes, a new instrumental album deconstructing the work of iconic vibraphonist Roy Ayers. A split collection with two thematically distinct halves, the album is entirely constructed from the early, jazz-centric realm of the Ayers archive. Good Vibes is "light and vibrant, with colorful layers radiating under the sunshine,” Oh No explains, while Bad Vibes contains “dark murky atmospheric tones for the angry moments, those times when it’s necessary to step in the mud.”
