Jason Ad.-

I hold a degree in music performance and play guitar ( lead and rhythm) electric and acoustic, bass guitar, piano and some drums. I am classically trained on the trumpet and brass instruments including the tuba, euphonium and trombone. I have performed professionally many times before both on guitar and trumpet. I have performed on trumpet in and for such places as SHS Marching Band, Disney Worlds Magic Music Days parades, 7 years in a row in Allstate and Honor bands, my sophomore year in high school I placed 4th chair in the Southeastern United States Honor Band, jazz and salsa bands (guitar and trumpet), the Mobile junior symphony, the Band of Golds marching and orchestra ensembles in college and during that time even making one of the top three Drum Corps in the world: The Cavaliers Drum and Bugle Corps located in Rosemont, Illinois.

Private lessons in college with a trumpet professor. Mr. Taylor was his name and he even submitted a number of my compositions to Guliard music school in New York and Berkeley school of music of whom both wanted me to come personally tour their campuses for consideration.

As long as I have been in music I have been performing. So that is 13 years. I have played countless venues on guitar as well with groups such as Fusion (praise and worship band being considered by Integrity Music). Bellacose( college alternative rock band that was being considered by Atlantic Records.) A progressive metal band called Chaotic Element from Gulfport, MS. I wrote all the music for these projects. The 13th Hour (a hard rock band) from Biloxi. We were scheduled to play such venues as The Hard Rock Casino, The Coliseum, the Saengar Theater and so on. A label in Germany by the name of Metal Blade Records was offering us a deal. I had to move because of family emergencies.

I have formally been teaching for 6 years, including songwriting techniques, composition, trumpet, and all genres and forms of guitar.
