BB Hayes Bio

DJ/Producer/Artist BB Hayes is a legendary music innovator who was a guiding member in establishing the San Francisco Bay Area underground club renaissance starting in the early 90s.  Starting in 1986 he spent his early days playing at the hottest San Jose club DB Coopers and mixing for radio stations like Hot 97.7 and Wild 94.9 FM and eventually featured on seminal weekend late night mix shows like St. John’s House Nation to working alongside legendary remixer the late Cameron Paul. Hayes quickly expanded his talents to remixing where he worked alongside Paul producing remixes for the DJ-Promo services Mixx-It and Wicked Mix and eventually starting his own called Monster Mix. 
By 1995 Hayes was headlining all of the largest clubs and parties in the San Francisco Bay Area, holding down residencies at the legendary DNA Lounge then owned by famous Hollywood brothers John and comedian/actor Rob Schneider as well as 1015 Folsom and the newly established but soon to be iconic Ruby Skye. BB’s eclectic style of house music set the standard for Ruby Skye’s success and allowed him to play for countless private events for such luminaries as Prince & Robin Williams. 
In 2011 Hayes stepped away from DJ-ing and production to focus on his family and sobriety.  In 2017 he was back on track after resetting his life to begin a new sober quest as an artist.  Hayes started on the first of several new projects including the 2017 album “Stereophonic Sound” 
Inspired by his love for Sci-Fi films with his new found passion for production, Hayes kicks off 2019 with “Disclosure,” a six-track alien themed EP, and it’s first single “Phoenix Lights” released on the Swishcraft label featured the vocals of the late Lady Abstract (Patricia Rebalizza) who unfortunately passed away shortly after the tracks recording. “Phoenix Lights” is a skillfully produced peak time Electro House track that takes its inspiration from the largest mass UFO sighting observed in the skies over the Arizona, Nevada and the Mexican State of Sonora on March 13, 1997, known as the “Phoenix Lights”. The second release from Disclosure was called “Anunnaki” and released on Vudeux Records.
In 2020 San Francisco Bay Area legend BB Hayes follows up his underground dance floor hit “Phoenix Lights” with a peak time, Tech House track that’s sure to become a Covid-Classic. “Remain in the House” is complete with a 30/40s style air raid siren and vocal warning over a driving Tech House beat and an ever-present ticking clock pulsates with eery synth stabs and an overarching sense of urgency.
During the pandemic his long time friend and Grammy nominated producer Jay-J became a mentor.  Already in 2021 BB has released 3 remixes for another mentor, the Originator of House music Jesse Saunders.  “Don’t Stop,” “Deeper,” and the 35 year anniversary remixes of “It’s OK” released on Jesses label Broken Records are topping the charts.

In 2022 after taking his skills to a whole new level BB has teamed up with the incredible vocal talents of Jemma Jones on two songs being released on the Swishcraft Label, “Live your Life” and “How Long”.  One is a completely original production and one is a cover of the 1974 classic rock hit by Ace and also features the musical talents of Greg Camp (Smash Mouth) and the talented Henry Navarro (SF legend)  

BB is pure artist.  That’s why he is one of the finest talents ever to come out of San Francisco.  He strives to be his best and his performance is simply amazing!  Expect more great things for many years to come from BB Hayes!
