I first discovered Jason on YouTube covering Interstate Love Song by Stone Temple Pilots—and I knew right away I wanted that voice on the radio. Since then, his own music has only grown stronger. Cheating on Me caught my attention, Veteran X showed his depth, and now his latest track, Stand Up or Be Swallowed, proves he’s found the winning formula. Easily his best work yet!
