I have been a club gay DJ for almost 23 years.

For 5 years in Buffalo, New York (where I won Best HiNRG DJ and Best Overall DJ back in 1988) and have been working as the house DJ at Club TBL (The Bottom Line) in Fort Myers, Florida from November 1989 until present.
Our website is www.clubtbl.com
I also received the award for DJ Of The Year from The Suncoast Music Report in 1993.

Also, I have been an active reporter for the international dance publication DMA (Dance Music Authority) Magazine for 6 years, reviewing 12" singles, remixes and full length albums. I did monthly reports until the publication folded about 5 years ago.

Since the area I live in is pretty much a tourist trap, my music is tends to be mainstream - keeping locals and visitors happy and dancing all night long.

I feel that my musical style would be perfectly suited for the Gay Days Celebration in Orlando in 2008.

Once again a big thank you goes out to everyone at G.I.R.L. for putting out an amazing contest that allowed two amazing DJ's to showcase their talents. Andy - there was never a doubt in my mind from the very beginning that your potential would always be there to bring you this far. I'm truly humbled and flattered to have been in your presence and the musical joy you brought to Orlando. Devan, Robert, David and everyone affiliated with G.I.R.L. I'm forgetting to name - you all are a sheer joy to be around. I could've stayed at the pool from Thursday through Sunday. This was a life-changing and amazing event. Andy thank you again. I don't recall the last time raw emotion broke me down. The encore - the stage - you dancing with the crowd - tears in my eyes. I was proud. Enough said. Congratulations. Let's get ready for 2009. Jonathan

Congratulations to all the DJ's who participated at the Royal Plaza Hotel. You all absolutely blew my mind with your sets, the crowd energy was fantastic and I have heard many positive comments from the attendees of Gaydays. What a joy to hear your sets and watch people just go crazy over the hard work you put in to it. It showed! I will NEVER forget Gaydays 2008 because so many wonderful things happened for me. I got a chance to meet ALL the DJ's that were just added to G.I.R.L. and i'm telling you there is a reason you were selected as a DJ on G.I.R.L.. What I enjoyed most about this year, the energy, the record crowds. It was just crazy! I was told by many who attended for many years, this was the best Gaydays ever because of GIRL and the DJ's. Andy Ajar and Paco (Francisco Guerra), what can I say about you two amazing winners of our National DJ Contest. I was just absolutely blown away and so was the audience. Andy to see your amazing hippo outfit LOL and then to see the crowd react to you the way they did, when the night was over to hear them yelling out ANDY, ANDY, ANDY... and you played one last song and then got up on the stage and danced with your fans. Paco- your amazing energy made me want to dance, dance, dance! All the DJ's that were selected this year to participate were incredible and you are all so talented in your craft. So many people came up to me and said YOUR STATION ROCKS! I will forever listen to you guys and you know how to throw some amazing parties. I am already looking forward to 2009!!! It was also a personal joy to meet 2 of my favorite male vocalists who performed while Randy Bettis was spinning. Jason Walker and Bryan Kent! WOW. These 2 put on a hell of a show. Jason you are so crazy getting in the pool with a cordless microphone, but you pulled it off!! LOL. Both so talented!!! Finally, thanks to the GIRL team and Devan for keeping it all together. HERE IS TO 2009, you better book your vacation for next year!!!!

Congratulations are in order! So, Congratulations! It's really refreshing to see two guys with real talent and real soul and a real love for sharing their good ears get recognized and rewarded for it. See you in Orlando, we'll have that drink whilst Paco spins! Paco and I will drink when you spin. Fair 'nuff? Thanks to all my fellow voters who recognize great talent when we hear it! Congratulations again!

I'm SO SORRY about today - I was having MAJOR issues with trying to post comments!!! I spent all of Shane V's set and most of Figious' set trying to get my comments to work... and with NO LUCK... (Ask the people at GIRL - I sent them a message about it...) First of all - I would like to say to Shane V, Figious and Paco - It has been AMAZING to be a part of this wonderful contest - being able to tune in week after week and hear the collection of talented DJ's that entered and hear their diverse styles of the one passion we all have in common - THE MUSIC!!! And I am TRULY humbled by all the AMAZING support by all those that tuned in to listen, sent emails and voted and I am blown away by all the passionate posts here... it has really taken my breath away to read them - THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!! Seriously - I really can't say "THANK YOU" enough.... DJ Andy Ajar

Andy and I have been friends for a few years now. He has always inpressed me with his artwork at the Farscape conventions (Scape rules you fools). His taste in music with that original flair towards what is new or could be out there to be be heard; or what we heard and might have missed, always makes me thankful that I have a friend who knows good music, sci-fi, animation, jokes; or whatever. I am glad he got this chance to showcase his talent. Win or lose, Andy always wins in my book.

This was my first time EVER putting myself out there. If anything, I have learned so much from all of you. That is winning enough for me. Congratulations on your winning run ! DJ Figious

Way to go andy.. I expected you to save the best for last and boy did you ever.. I hope your home club tbl realizes the talent they have on their hands.. I am already picking out my bathing suit to go see you and Dj Francisco spinning @ the pool. Hands down you two are the biggest talents on here and true "dj's" in every aspect. Hopefully the other listeners can tell the difference between true djs and computer made sets. See you in Orlando.

Props to Traci - beautifully put - "Some DJ's have the ablility to give you a good night of dancing. Others have the ability to take you on a journey with the expression of their music, and by doing so, leave a legacy. That's Andy. DJ Ajar has something that transcends talent and ablity. His music flows into your head and into your heart, and you can't help but express your gratitude by dancing. He transcends time with his music and can take you to a place where nothing else matters but the thumping in your chest and the music in your heart. If you're looking for the best, he's your man. DJ Ajar is something special. I've danced in clubs all over the country and I've never heard anyone like him."

Andy...goosebumps. It has been a privilege to listen to all your sets and what you've brought to this contest. It was another week for all of us to be taken on a journey. The journey of this contest from beginning to end is one that is for the memory. I think all the DJ's are better because of this contest and you all learned a little bit from each other. The set today - Dive in the pool One MORE TIME to Save the Best for last...how appropriate. It works. It only shows how much you get it. Fort Myers has been spoiled for a long time but it's about time you start being heard around the nation and across the world - and it begins in Orlando at Gaydays. The stage is set. The rest of the world needs to hear your musical stories. Go forth and move the souls and hearts of people all over. For now it's time to get ready for the pool parties. I'm so proud of you.

I know that you Love what you do..... You can hear and feel that in every song, every transition, and every second of your sets.... Never stop what you do… Passion is an intense emotion compelling feeling, enthusiasm, or desire for anything and often requires action. Passion often applies to lively or eager interest in or admiration for a proposal, cause, or activity or love. My hat is off to you DJ AJAR! So glad you call SW-FL home.... we get to hear you every day.....

Don't stop the beat, don't drop the bass, you pulled this one out and slapped me around with it! I want more and it want it poolside, right now! What a great, bilingual, cross-over children, kick ass mix! Another Night even made an appearance! Brilliant! You and Paco have this 'tition all neatly stuffed in a patriotic Speedo! I give credit to your other competitors, but you two understood the whole time that this was a Pool Party, not a circuit party, we don't need anyone OD'ing in a pool for god's sake! Andy and Paco got it, they worked it, and they deserve to win hands down...no wait, hands up, throw down! See you in Orlando, DJAA Maybe one of you could mix in the Obama girl song in for me? That'd be a helluva transition! Peace, Out
