About Me

In 2000, I went through an "internal Renaissance". Truly discovering that I had a God-given oratorical gift embedded in me, I stopped in front of the mirror, looked at myself, and embraced it(The Real Me). As a kid, I loved reading, music and writing(still do). While all of my peers were playing sports and hanging out, an entity called Music, turned my attention to her secluded world of words and rhythms. Even at a tender, adolescent age, I felt a nurturing bond between us, and I understood it. Winning a songwriting contest in the sixth grade, gave me the inspiration to never leave the pen and the pad. The pen represents my thoughts. The pad is life's way of creating a canvas just for me. It's like being branded, but without the heated iron, seared on your skin. You bear the crucified mark of an artist, but the pain that you feel is more spiritual, than physical.Some of the Washington D.C. metro nightspots, that I have performed at are the historic Bohemian Caverns, Bar Nun, Mocha Hut, Busboys & Poets, The Baltimore Theater Project, Source Theater, The National Theater, DC Arts Center, The Lyceum Museum(Old Town Alexandria) , Warehouse Theater and Expressions Studio. It was my one-man show, "The Limelight", that ignited my love for the stage. I have also ventured out to the Big Apple and performed in such talented spaces, such as the Sugar Bar(Ashford & Simpson's lounge) and RubyFruit(The Village). This is really just the beginning. As I continue to spread my voice, you will be able to keep an ear open, for the soothing, poetic vocals of Jason Evan Barrett.
