The guitarist went on to explain that as no one except his birth father really called him Daren and DJ seemed more like a nickname, he's often been called "Ash" by his closest friends.
He also revealed that his initials have also caused some confusion for him professionally, adding, "I never chose to be called DJ, in fact it's more of a curse being a guitar player. Everybody thought I was a 'DJ,' and I still get asked if I'm a DJ."
With that explanation, Ashba revealed, "I'm going to legally change my name to just ASHBA. So call me ASH. That should clear things up moving forward!"
