Jason Jones
Who could have foreseen that Iceland native, now Charlotte, North Carolina resident Jason Jet would become a magnetic musical force whose unquestionably unique talent would breathe fresh air into an otherwise complacent entertainment industry? The young performer quickly rooted himself into indie-soul music scene soon after his migration to the Queen City years ago. Blessed with a brilliant tenor voice, astounding production prowess, and gripping lyricism, this sensuous singer/songwriter has an almost trancelike effect on anyone who listens. Welcome to Jason Jet’s world, where his music is an unforgettable experience.
Jet has already won numerous awards, including a Carolina Music Award and a NY Urban Music award (previous honorees include superstar Nicki Minaj). After Jet graduated high school from Charlotte’s Northwest School of the Arts, a training ground for many of the city’s most talented visual and performing artists, he went on to study Recording Arts at Full Sail University. Jet’s first significant experience in the music industry was as a member of the Orlando, Florida-based band called BopGun. During his stint with BopGun, Jet played the keyboard and was involved with production and background vocals; however, Jet always stood out and eventually becoming a solo artist with a band of his own.
