About Me

I've been making music for many years.I've been through generations of changes in music and technology and I have been fortunate to work with and learn from some of the greatest artists of our times.Miles Davis,Luther Vandross,Marcus Miller,Sting,David Sanborm,Gato Barbieri,Chaka Khan,Derek Trucks are just a few of the greats I've made music with.I produce,arrange,compose and play keys and synths. I've been working with synthsizers since they first cam on the music scene back in the 70s You can check out my website www.jasonmilesmusic.com to hear more music and see more about my productions and visit the gallery.I am now offereing production services for artists that feel that want to be taken a notch up in their productions.This includes arranging,playing and worldclass mixing.I also have access to all kinds of worldclass musicians.It also includes consultation as well as the business is rapidly changing.I can email you or send a CD of some of my work. You can contact me through messaging on this site. We need music to be on a high level of musicality if quality music will survive in the future. I can help you get there
