When he's not composing or writing, Jason performs in a rock band called Merman. Their unique “aquadelic” sound can be heard in various venues across the Eastern seaboard.
Additionally, Jason explores his artistic side through painting, creating vibrant and thought-provoking pieces. His ongoing “Yoniverse” series offers geological contemplations of the subconscious emotional realm. Influenced by Enso painting, erosion, color-theory, and feminine mysticism- these paintings are records of ritual.
