Early & Transitional Years

Jason attended Henrico High School, where he highlighted his musical abilities by playing both french horn and trombone in multiple bands, as well as developed his artistic skills after being accepted into the prestigious Center for The Arts program.

College & Post College Years
As a sophomore at Oral Roberts University, Jason became a member of the Christian rap group, R.E.A.C.T.I.O.N. (RXN). His ability to write music came from writing many parodies, and winning a national award for poetry in the 11th grade. His inspiration to perform came from his mother, who was a professional singer/performing artist. In 2003, he received his Bachelors of Science degree in Graphic Design, and went from being on academic probation to making the Vice President’s academic list twice.
In 2004, RXN released their only album “Tha Xperience” before disbanding in 2005. That following year, Jason and Will “Thrill” Coleman (former RXN leader) formed the duo TwoThree and eventually released their only album, “The W.A.Y.” 4 years later.
