Jason is a guitar player's guitar player, a song writer who has been writing and performing for over seventeen years. He began in Little Rock, Arkansas, where he still resides. His career began in a band called Living Sacrifice, but did not truly blossom until their fourth release entitled REBORN.
This was a unique genre of very complicated music structure and time signatures. However, Jason's musical palate was geared more toward classical and jazz fusion. He was heavily influenced by artists like Pat Matheney, Phil Keaggy, the Beatles, and Stanley Jordan, to name a few.
As his style continued to develop, he found himself taking on the role of guitar for POD in February 2003. Sleeping Awake would be the first song he would write with POD. It was the title track to the Matrix Reloaded soundtrack, which sold over one million copies in the U.S. From there, he would write with POD their self titled album which went gold in the U.S. and sold one million world wide. During the making of this album, Jason became friends with Phil Keaggy who was featured on an instrumental song he and Jason wrote called Eternal. This led to the release of an LP called Warriors 2. This was a collection of songs during the writing process of Jason's second album with POD called Testify.
Testify was released January 2006 and was produced by Grammy winning producer Glen Ballard. During this time, Jason recorded his first instrumental album entitled String Theory. It was recorded in Colorado Springs and co-produced by John Schroder at John's studio. It is a very introspective album using multiple acoustics and demonstrates much of Jason's diversity as a writer.
String Theory is only available on this web site. In October 2006, Jason performed as a solo artist for the first time at the Denver Guitar Festival sharing the stage with Phil Keaggy and Glassharp. This lead to Jason's final song with POD which was featured on The Atlantic Years...the Best of POD.
It's 2009 and Jason has embarked on a new path as a solo artist. Jason has since released his third album entitled Finding The Quiet in November of 2008. His future projects will include an instrumental guitar album and a vocal album later this year.
