I am a classically trained vocalist and musician. I also write and produce original RnB music. I play piano and guitar and specialize in jazz and blues. I can play anything from renaissance/baroque music and Spanish guitar classics to Brazilian Jazz and swing standards. I know most popular music and Top 40 hits and I can learn anything, even on short notice.
Check out some of my original tunes in the videos section!!!
Note: I am willing to travel long distances if the client can cover any and all travel fees.

November 22, 2019Jason is a 5 star musician! He played at a recent company reception and he was a massive hit. Clients were raving about him. We look forward to booking him at our next event.

October 22, 2019We booked Jason to play an acoustic guitar for the cocktail hour of our wedding. His communication leading up to the event was excellent and booking couldn't be easier. He reached out day of letting me know he'd be there early and everything would be ready to go. Only downside was I didn't get to see him perform as we were doing pictures but guests said he was amazing. Thanks again

September 30, 2019lets start from the beginning! Jason responded immediately to all of my emails and very professional! He was punctual and accommodating to our wishes singing in and out side through out the night. I can’t put into words how amazing he is vocally and we even said our first dance cover was better than the original! Every single guest told me how much they liked him and want me to have him at our English reception as it wouldn’t be the same ! I don’t have one bad comment to make except I wish he didn’t live so far away so we could have him again at another party !! Thank you Jason you made our day even more perfect!!

May 26, 2019We found Jason on GigSalad and wanted a live musician to provide instrumental and congregational music for our wedding. He delivered phenomenally on both ends, deftly playing classical guitar for a few entrance songs that befitted the occasion and leading the congregation with a group hymn, and continued to add instrumental music to stretch the time as needed. Highly recommended and provided the right music as needed while being discrete and fitting in well with the overall ceremony.

Jason always puts on a captivating performance of cover songs as well as originals. A classically trained musician and jazz player, he's very flexible and can make last minute adjustments with ease. In addition to being a fabulous singer and guitarist, he also loops his guitar and vocals and creates a wall of sound using his laptop. A dynamic performer and never afraid to engage his audience, Jason makes any occasion a day to remember.
Jason was born to sing. His childhood was lost to hours plunking away on a small, Yamaha keyboard and recording into a toy karaoke set, all the while trying to belt it like his gospel-singing, Baptist mother. Raised in the church, he penned his first tunes at the organ, but then quickly decided that hymnody was not his style.
In his rebellious years, he met his first guitar – an old Harmony electric, straight out of the Sears’ Christmas catalogue. He taught himself a few blues licks and power chords and began to find a new voice – one born deep and straight from the soul. It was this voice that would take him away from home in pursuit of the ever-elusive Hollywood dream.
Fast forward a few years later – Jason and his band have shared the stage with artists such as Rocco Deluca, Nikka Costa, and Jonathan Foreman, as well as countless local indie favorites. His songs “Paper Roses” and “Aftermath” – from his 2008 self-titled EP – appeared on network television shows Gossip Girl and Ghost Whisperer in fall 2009, helping him to earn a brief stint on the first season of NBC's the Voice.
On May 15, 2015 under Mirrorball Entertainment, Jason released an EP of five songs that feature a fresh albeit mature sound. With the help of uber-talented producers Stefan Skarbeck, Coleman Trapp, and industry icon Tony Maserati, he has created his best work to date.
Just this past Christmas, he also released his first self-produced and engineered record and Christmas EP "Modern Day Carol," available on iTunes now!
Jason can provide a small PA Speaker/Sound System with 2 microphones. Volume-wise, it is suitable for a crowd size of up to 100 people.
