First-generation Mexican American, born and raised in Austin, TX.
Jason grew up between two musical worlds. On one side: Stevie Ray Vaughan, George Strait, and Selena — the soundtrack of Texas in the 90s. On the other: cumbia, norteño, and regional Mexican music, soaked up during summers in his parents' hometown.
He picked up saxophone at 12, guitar at 14. By high school, he was already playing in bands across Austin's diverse venues, finding his place at the intersection of Latin tradition and Texas sound.
