Jason Consolacion (pronounced like the word 'consolation') has established himself as an impressive singer-songwriter, catching the ear of an expanding audience. His style of rock incorporates a number of elements, including folk, jazz, blues and funk.
A graduate of Houston's prestigious High School For The Performing And Visual Arts, and always dedicated to being a student of all types of music, Jason has used his knowledge of various styles to incorporate a fusion of all his tastes into a pop setting. Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Jason moved with his family to Houston when he was 6. The son of a concert pianist, Jason turned the influence from his mother into a dream that has led him to where he is today - playing his songs and affecting people with pop- and jazz-laden melodies and lyrics everyone can relate to.
Other than his mother, Jason's musical influences cover a large variety of personalities, including Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Eric Clapton, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Nick Drake, Elton John and Michael Jackson.
Those who have heard Jason's songs live or on disc have been taken by the freshness of the writing, singing and playing. Now living in New York, the singer-songwriter hopes to continue to play for as many people as he can while maturing as a respectable musician.
Jason's discography includes an EP titled UNCERTAIN AIR (2003), two full-length albums named EVERYTHING'S OK (2004) and ACOUSTIC BOOGALOO (2005), and the EP titled THE POOL TABLE MATTER (2006), all of which can be purchased on iTunes . He is currently working on a new album with all new material, and is for the first time producing the record himself. STAY TUNED!!!
