Ayokay

Alex O'Neill, better known under the stage name Ayokay, is an American producer and DJ from Grosse Pointe, Michigan.[1]

O'Neill attended high school with Mike Temrowski, who went on to become Quinn XCII; the pair worked together while both were college students at different universities in Michigan.[1] Their 2016 single "Kings of Summer" was chosen by Ian Desmond, then a baseball player for the Texas Rangers, as his walk-up music, which increased the track's popularity and led to a record deal with Columbia.[1] O'Neill then moved to Los Angeles, releasing a full-length album, In the Shape of a Dream, in 2018. He has had two hit singles on the Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Songs Chart: "Kings of Summer" with Quinn XCII, which reached #18 in 2016, and "The Shine" with Chelsea Cutler, which reached #50 in 2017.[2]
