Warner Bros. Records Recording Artist
Raised in Wakulla County, Florida, just minutes south of Tallahassee, Jason Jones is without a doubt the epitome of a small town kid with big dreams.
Driven, early in life, to pursue a lifetime career in music Jason found himself writing his own music at the age of fourteen. It all really started for Jason when he entered a talent expo in Dallas, Texas, during his early college years. “I’d been writing songs all along, but I never really considered myself to be a writer. I wanted to make my folks proud and get a degree first.” But, as life would have it for Jason, that all changed when he went and auditioned with one of his original songs. He not only made it into the top ten showcase, but went on to win several awards. Ultimately this encouraged him to pack up his things and head to Music City, Nashville, Tennessee, where he would aspire to make a living as a singer and songwriter.
Jason paid the bills by waiting tables at a local music business haunt. He started singing demos for Nashville’s top songwriters, and parlayed that into some co-writing appointments. While singing a demo for Brett Jones, Brett became aware of Jason’s artist potential. Underneath his youthful appearance belied an older, more seasoned voice. In just nine short months, Jason signed his very first publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music where he currently works today.
Writing songs full time and working on his artist career, Jason no longer needed to wait tables. While playing out in Nashville, as well as nationally, he set himself apart musically from other young vocalists. There is a rawness and soulfulness about Jason’s voice, and his music. The covers he chooses for his sets are always reminiscent of his love for his small town upbringing. These songs coupled with his edgy and energetic original music has garnered Jason a loyal, ever-growing fan base. His incredibly passionate stage show keeps his audiences on their feet.
Along with Jason’s busy schedule of writing he has played well over 100 dates a year for the past several years from the smallest, down-home honky-tonks, casinos, theaters, fairs and festivals. It doesn’t matter if Jason is playing the smallest stage to the biggest stage when the house lights go down, and the music begins you too will see just what makes this young man ‘tick’. There will be no question in your mind Jason’s true passion for music and performing . . . But even more importantly his audience and fans.
On May 5, 2008, Jason signed his major label artist deal with Warner Bros. Records. He has been working very hard in the studio cutting for his first single release. Jason embarks on his first radio tour this March. His single is penned to be released sometime in the early part of the 2nd quarter of 2009.
Given the opportunity Jason will take you one of the most fun-filled musical rides of a lifetime.
