I never thought I’d be where I am today making music that people enjoy. “One Last Kiss” is probably my best song that I’ve done alone. It’s definitely a song that I’m proud of and a song that I can’t get tired of. It’s certainly had quite a hit on the “Determined 2 Succeed” profile and was just a hit. Its one of the many songs that I made from my heart and mind and I’m very proud with the end results. “Focus” was going to be my solo project but I decided that I wanted Matt to be in this with me, and so far I’m not regretting the decision. The first song that we did, “Perception After the Fact” is complete different then any songs that we’ve done. I’m proud of the progress of the project and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner to be in this with me. I also have a good friend Travis Williams who also contributed to the project and I’m very grateful for wat he put in and for his help.

Matthew arias: Started making music since I was 10, I first affiliated myself with Jason for the past 2 years to create a finer tone of sound. I have since produced some pretty good music with Jason and hope to achieve a bigger audience for “Focus”. Music has been my life and it will continue to be my main focal point. Me myself, have found that focusing on one thing can muddle up my aspirations. However, when Jason had included me into the project, I realized that I really wanted to make music. For several years I have tried to generate a type of music that will influence people and that’s what Jason brings to the sound. Our ideas have grown and so will our music.

Special Thanks: God first of all for allowing us to come so far. And a very big special shout out to Travis Williams aka. TDUB. The man behind the camera. He’s apart of this project in his own way and without him I don’t know how far this project would have gone.
