Ashley Gordon (born 1985),[1] known professionally as DJ AG, is a British DJ and online streamer. He is recognised for outdoor open-format DJ sets across London that are broadcast live on social media platforms. His live streams have featured appearances from artists including Skepta, Will Smith, Ciara and Beenie Man.[2][1][3][4]

Early life

Gordon grew up in Tottenham, north London, to a family of Jamaican heritage,[1] and was raised by his single mother alongside his brother and sister.[5] He attended St Paul's and All Hallows infant and junior school, alongside Jme, before attending Aylward secondary school in Edmonton alongside Bloodline Crew's Big H and Bossman Birdie.[5]

Many of his early jobs were in the hospitality industry, and he briefly worked as a primary school teacher, having studied teaching at Middlesex University;[5] he was working as a sales manager before leaving the role to pursue DJing and online streaming full-time.[6]

Personal life

Gordon is divorced and a father of two.[5]

Career

From the age of 16, Gordon was an amateur MC in the grime scene, going by the stage name Untitled.[5] He was a part of a crew called Infamous Killers alongside Black the Ripper, and appeared as an MC on Heat FM alongside Chip's Shoddy Crew; he later appeared regularly on the Enfield internet radio station Axe FM, where he would clash other artists, and released several mixtapes, beginning with his debut mixtape Misconceptions in 2008.[5] He later formed the crew Behave Yourself alongside Messy, Evolver and Rogue, released the 2009 mixtape Mind Warp and the four-part 2010 EP series Try Me, and left Axe FM due to a belief that emerging streaming services such as Ustream would be a better tool for promoting his music for free.[7]

Gordon began online streaming as a DJ in 2022[5] and shifted to outdoor DJ sets in 2023, performing in public locations around London including squares, car parks, and housing estates. The sets often attract large crowds of passers-by and are broadcast online to audiences on TikTok.[8]

Recognition

In 2024, Gordon was named Time Out Londoner of the Year for his contribution to the city’s cultural life.[1] In 2025, he received the UK Entertainment Award for Best Social Impact.[9]
