Tell us about:  

Your latest single you have released:

‘You Are Good’: I lost my tongue to stage 4 cancer and was told  I’d never sing or speak again. While in the hospital fighting for my life one night, I wanted to give up  and die. I was so exhausted from the battle with cancer and feeling hopeless. I was looking around  the room to figure out what I could use to end my life that night.  

My wife walks in around 9pm or so and she can see in my face, there’s no life left. She knows I’ve  given up. She didn’t know what to say, and honestly there’s probably nothing she could have said in  that moment that would have made me feel any better. She began to cry softly, trying not to let me  see that she was crying. The situation felt so hopeless.  

She knew it was out of her hands, that she was powerfulness to help me. So she began to pray. And  then she began to sing. She started to sing my favorite hymn (Come Thou Fount) but couldn’t  remember all the words, so she changed the lyrics to “You are good, God.” I remember hearing her  sing that over and over for a few hours.  

Honestly, I had so much anxiety and fear and anger and depression but as she continued to sing I felt  peace. All the fear and anxiety melted away. She literally sang me to sleep and I woke up the next  morning in my right mind, determined to keep living and determined to keep fighting cancer.  

The words and melody she sang stuck with me… years later, I’ve taken her song and created an  upbeat high energy victorious remix called You Are Good. This song is dedicated to her and the  unconditional love she showed me.  

Your favourite lyric in this song:  

All tribes and tongues be singing, voicing ringing  

While I ain’t even got not a tongue to sing with  

No tongue, no problem, if the rocks cry out  

I’ll open up this mouth and get loud!  

I hear’m asking “maybe stop rapping…  

White boy with a lisp just shouldn’t happen!”  

But if cancer didn’t silence me  

Then why you think I’d hide so easily?  

Naw.  

Your favourite song that you have created that is an album track:

Definitely it  has to be Checklist, probably my favorite song I’ve ever written. I know it is my wife’s favorite song. A  heartfelt ballad about not giving up. It’s the song we end our shows with.  

Your favourite song to play live:

Sounds Like Sid haha. Packed with comedy and pyrotechnics, it’s a  pretty fun live experience. Because cancer left me with a lisp and permanent speech impediment, I  get called “Sid The Sloth” from Ice Age a lot. So I decided to own that label and make a fun song  about it. Fans have a great time as soon as the music starts… they know what’s coming!

The song that was the longest to write and why?

Leave The Pain Behind. I wrote the 1st verse in  high school. The 2nd verse in college. And the bridge as an adult after surviving cancer. Over 10 years  in the making!  

Your most emotional track:

Please, No Flowers also known as Speak Love To Me. When people  found out I had cancer, my phone blew up. Facebook alone had around 200 posts and people saying  “Jason was a good singer… Jason was a good friend… Jason was.”  

It was like attending my own funeral. It got me thinking: why do we wait until people are dead or  dying to say nice things to them? Speak love to me NOW. While I’m still alive. And then I released I  do the same thing. It’s inspired me to now wait to speak life to people. We sing it live and I begin  seeing so many eyes tear up. It’s quite emotional but beautiful. Especially when the flowers pedals  begin dropping and the pyro goes off. It’s quite epic.  

Dream collaboration:

I don’t know. I think it’d be cool to do a song with others who have lost their  tongue as well to cancer. An anthem we can share dedicated to all who struggle with disabilities.  

Describe the feeling you get when you walk on stage to do a show:

On a mission. I know there are  people in the audience who are hurting. They need hope, they need peace, they need to laugh, they  need to cry. When I walk on stage my goal is to use music and comedy to help them begin the  healing process.  

The hardest track to play live:

Every show we do an improv song. Completely live on the spot, the  audience suggests words and I have to write a song on the piano with lyrics, total improv. That’s  always the hardest song haha. Sometimes I feel like I bombed, but other times we’d have some  pretty hilarious or special moments come out of it. We took our favorite 10 improv songs from  various cities we toured and released an album called IMPROV Songs (Volume One).  

Essential items you always take on tour with you?

My keytar haha. And a trailer full of instruments  and stage fx including pyro and confetti launchers.My wife tour full time, living on the road, rv life.  We’ve been on the road for almost 700 days straight, toured over 30 states. It’s been an adventure!  

Describe your fans in three words:

Loving. Caring. Fun.  

A song by another artist or band you wish you had written:

Fix You by Coldplay 

What else can we look forward to in 2026?

We are launching a new album and  new tour titled NO TURNING BACK. We’ve already released a couple singles from it, with new singles  every two weeks on our YouTube and Spotify / Apple Music pages.
