We Are Contenders

About Me

THE STORY SO FAR...
My name is Jason. I'm a normal guy who loves to make music. I've played music since I was a kid. Not until late 2007 did I started writing, playing and performing my own music.
On December 9th 2007 I played two songs live on college radio station DIT FM with my sister. We continued playing some shows, then on April 23rd 2008 I recorded my debut EP Shoebox Memories with my sister, Jen. This was met with some positive reviews; Aidan Lynch of Phantom FM's I-CON show named We Are Contenders as demo of the week as well as some local press pinning lines like "duo contending for chart success".
Shoebox Memories is a free download EP available from this myspace! [But myspace won't seem to let people download it right now].
I will release my first full length, You. The World. in early 2010.

Influences: I'm a normal guy doing the only thing that feels natural too me. I'm not too good at it but it makes me smile and some people seem to like it - this makes me smile even more. I write what I feel - I try to tell honest, sincere stories. You can learn a lot about me from my music I think. Way too many people influence me... here is a list of some!
