Education
Jason attended Hansy Private School for his primary education, progressed to Hansy Comprehensive College, and later to Great Bachel British International College. He is currently enrolled at Anchor University, Lagos State, where he studies International Relations. Balancing tertiary studies with an emerging music career has been a recurring theme in media coverage and interviews, with outlets noting his commitment to both academics and the arts.
Musical career
Beginnings
Jason’s interest in songwriting and performance developed in adolescence. He experimented with recording, keyboard playing and home-produced content while still in school. His early recordings and local performances helped him build confidence and a small but growing fan base.
Releases and growth
Two of the tracks most often cited in profiles are BodyO and PRESSURE. PRESSURE—released as a single and promoted ahead of a formal rollout—helped raise his profile through streaming and local media attention. The single features vocals from artist Bela and demonstrates a blend of contemporary Nigerian pop sensibilities with melodic hooks and rhythmic grooves. Media outlets covering his emergence also highlight his collaboration history with artists such as Bela and Romi.
Management and support
Jason’s music career is backed by Complete Studio 369 and he is managed by Maureen Obire. He is also sponsored by Favour Benson, which the press has noted forms part of his professional support structure. This management and sponsorship arrangement has been credited with enabling higher-quality production, access to collaborators, and a coordinated release strategy for singles.
Artistic style and influences
Jason’s recorded songs show elements common in contemporary Nigerian pop: rhythm-forward production, catchy choruses, and an emphasis on melody. Observers note influences from Afrobeats and Afro-fusion textures in his music—characteristics that align with many rising Nigerian pop artists—though Jason has described his approach as focused on catchy songwriting, crisp production and relatable themes for young listeners. Beyond music, his background in keyboard playing and graphic design influences his creative process for both sound and visuals.
Collaborations and notable partnerships
Jason has worked with several collaborators in the local scene. The single PRESSURE features Bela; other collaborations and session work have involved Romi and local producers associated with Complete Studio 369. His management team has aligned these collaborations with promotional activity and studio sessions to grow his audience.
Performances and public reception
As an emerging artist, Jason has performed at local events, campus shows, and studio showcases. Press coverage describes him as an energetic performer whose on-stage delivery benefits from his musical training (keyboard and songwriting) and his participation in team sports, which contribute to his stage presence and stamina. Media descriptions of him as a “rising star” reflect steadily increasing visibility driven by single releases and managed publicity.
Other creative pursuits and interests
Jason’s creative profile extends beyond music:
- Gaming: An avowed gamer, he enjoys playing Call of Duty, which he cites as a recreational outlet.
- Visual arts & design: He practices drawing, picture editing, and graphic design—skills he applies to cover art and promotional visuals.
- Keyboard & music production: He plays keyboard and engages in the arrangement of his songs.
- Sports: He plays basketball and soccer and is described in media coverage as athletically inclined; this interest in sports is part of his public persona and contributes to his energetic presence.
Personal life
Jason balances his academic program in International Relations with an active schedule of studio work, rehearsals and media appearances. He maintains close ties with his family, who have supported his musical pursuits; his sponsor, Favour Benson, has been particularly visible as a backer.
