Coming from a family and culture in which music is like water, it was just a matter of time before the notes claimed Jay to represent them.

Starting with guitar at the age of 7, and a performing debut at St. Florence elementary school as the youngest instrumentalist, Jason began a musical odyssey that would take him through many different instruments, styles, circumstances and locales. A journey that continues to this day.

Current fixations include: Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, Ed Bickert, James Jamerson, John Coltrane, and Charlie Kaufman movies.

Jason plays: Anything he's told to.
