Jason is an accomplished songwriter/performer whose works have been featured on national radio, and who is gaining momentum on the Internet with the help of his radio exposure.

He is not easily categorized into any one genre, but many of his songs contain humorous lyrical twists and a foundation in blues and rock.

Enjoy the listen!
Do you play live?
I perform as a solo acoustic act in northern New Jersey. I perform in bars, clubs, and coffeehouses. My most special appearance within the last year was at a 9/11 remembrance ceremony, where I performed my original, "Stand Tall United."
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
With the evolution of the Internet, more performers have a chance to get heard. I've gotten positive feedback from listeners around the world, and I continue to be astounded by the easy access anyone has to hear my music at any time without the hassles of distribution.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Depends on the contract. I would sign the right songwriting/publishing deal. I'm a family man with a great home life and successful business career, and I'm not interested in touring. I'd happily license my songs to other artists or for use in film/TV.
