About Me

Skillfully poised between the melodic textures of tasty guitar hooks, energetic bass playing and inspired drum tapestry, lies singer/songwriter Jason Witte. His music offers the distinctive combination of power and solace through his seasoned writing abilities and vocal prowess. Produced by Grammy-nominated artists Billy Smiley (Whiteheart) and David Ellefson (F5, Ex-Megadeth), Witte has created three new masterful and compelling songs steeped in an unusual optimism rarely found in today’s secular music. "I'm very excited about these new songs as they represent a different side of who I am at this point in my life, as well as being uplifting and inspiring for the soul”, says an enthusiastic Witte.Jason is no newcomer to the music business as proven by his tenacity in the Arizona music scene the past several years, where he performed over three hundred shows, mostly with his former bands "Self-Titled" and "Sunn Automatic". In a timely manner 2007 earmarked a new path on Jason’s musical journey landing him back in the creative seat to showcase a different side of his talents on the harder-edged CD "Bleed/Your/Faith". That release caught the ears of Ellefson and Smiley who offered up their talents to bring Witte to Nashville, helping him shape the next phase of his songwriting endeavors.Jason is also the vocalist in the Los Angeles based project called “Goaded”, featuring guitarist Tracy G. (Ex-Dio), bassist Larry "Bones" Dennison (Ex-Dio), drummer Ray Luzier (Army of Anyone, Korn) and drummer Forrest Robinson (India Arie).For more info: [email protected] or 928-254-1330
