It was clear from an early age that Jason had a love and passion for music. In his early years he studied playing the piano and always enjoyed this. As he got older other instruments where more appealing to him and he started playing guitar at 12 years of age. While he was always listening to rock music and learning new songs on his guitar Jason always had a love and an appreciation for all types of music. In his high school years Jason was in a band and studied music until he left school. It was around this time Jason started to go to clubs and enjoy the dance music scene, this lead to Jason always looking for the new music that was playing in the clubs and he started to buy this music and wanted to play it to people in the clubs that he enjoyed so much.
Jason started his Djing career in 1996, back in those days the hi-nrg dance music scene was huge and this is the music that he targeted, basically due to his personal love of this style. Starting out Jason DJ'd at many local clubs and in Hound Dog clothing stores, this helped establish his music and a fan base. Over the years Jason became a resident DJ at many of the top Sydney dance clubs including DCM, NV, Bay 33 and Splash. He also was a regular feature at all of the hi-nrg/hard house dance parties in Sydney and has played all over the east coast of Australia, during this time Jason gained many fans of his style of hi-nrg music.
Around 2001 - 2002 Jason's music tastes and preferences started changing and Jason moved more towards the funky house music scene and now specialises in this type of music. While the change was gradual Jason is now considered one of Sydney's top house music DJ's playing at many of Sydney's top house clubs. Current residences include: Resident DJ at UN Sydney - continuing on from his 2 years residency when the club was known as DCM Sydney. DCM is one of Sydney's best known night clubs operating for over 15 years it is a true Sydney Dance Club Icon. Jason plays each Saturday night in the house room keeping the crowd dancing to the early hours of the morning. Jason is also a resident DJ at Babylon day club - Sydney's one and only house music recovery day club - playing to a packed house every Sunday. Jason is also resident DJ at the Shark Hotel in Sydney every Thursday night for ladies night. Along with these residences Jason currently plays at a host of Sydney clubs including Dragonfly, Sapphire Suite, Q bar, Aqua Lounge, and many more, Jason also regularly performs live mixes on radio for the On The Dex radio show.
Along with Djing Jason also spends time in the studio, he has mixed and produced many soundtracks for fashion parades, estedfords and enjoys editing the tracks that he plays.
