Jason is no newcomer to the music industry, he has spent 20 years in the Rock/Metal scenes and studied music majors with musicians such as Steve Digiorggio from Testament and Death. After which point he played with various metal & rock acts. With no surprise, technology is changing and with the ease of exposure via the internet and various channels, Jason decided to go back to his roots and try his DJ skills once again. Jason first started mixing tracks at 6 years of age with 2 cheap turntables and an old radio shack mixer. At the age of 12, Jason won a local DJ contest with CHNO 55 in Sudbury, Ontario. Due to a family loss, Jason pursued other means of music up until 2007. In 2007 was the birth of JzL. Jason obtained a DJ position at CKLU 96.7 FM and started The Trance Room which showcases artists and producers from all around the world. Within 6 months The Trance Room won for Best "New Electronica" segment in Northern Ontario. Overcome with huge amounts of support, Jason held residency with Deviant Audio in Norway. In 2008, Jason was welcomed to the mainstream market by his friends at Afterhours.FM. Since the beginning of 2008 JzL has played along side various artists, producers and Dj of all walks of life. Jason's primary focus is to help bring the Electronica Age to a new level by providing all artists a chance to showcase their productions or mixes on both his shows.
Jason's recent accomplishment was performing at The Love Festival @ Toronto's Polsen Pier / Sound Academy with his unique performance.
Prior to The Love Festival, Jason attended a workshop at The Summer Music Conference and was asked to play for one of Canada's Finest Electronica Producers Hatiras. Next year Jason will be helping the SMC organize Trance DJ's / Producers for the next Love Festival in 2009.
