Ayesa was born in Manila, Philippines and raised in Sydney. Ayesa was studying communications at Macquarie University in Sydney when he was offered the role of Ritchie Valens in the theatre production of Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story.

He has also been a part of several bands: Randy Badass and the Slickmaster Five, Lovetown, The Honkies and The Riva Band.
Ayesa moved from Sydney to London in 2001 to look for a publishing company for his material. He appeared in Rent by Jonathan Larson in London's West End in 2002 playing the role of Angel at The Prince of Wales Theatre. Ayesa played the character of Galileo Figaro in the musical We Will Rock You, which is based entirely on Queen material. In the final months of 2007, Ayesa returned to the stage as Galileo Figaro in the International Tour of We Will Rock You, successfully completing runs in New Zealand, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and finishing in Bangkok with his debut CD being released in those respective countries.
Ayesa appeared in Handel's Messiah Rocks in 2008, which was released on CD/DVD fall of 2009, as well as airing as a PBS-TV special across the USA.
In January 2010, Ayesa made his Broadway debut in Jason Gilkison's ballroom dancing revue Burn the Floor.
