Musical Influences God

Artist History Born in San Francisco in 1967 to a musical family, JAS has been influenced by many different styles. His parents were blues musicians who performed throughout California for many years. His mother wrote and sang all of her own songs, while his father played bass. JAS grew up playing clarinet from 5th grade through his first year of high school, then switching to the electric bass. He started his own band and wrote most of the material, also taking on lead vocals and bass. His band played at many venues throughout the Bay Area. Throughout the years, JAS experimented with many different styles, making his own recordings at home. During the mid-90's, JAS found God and began playing bass at his church. JAS backslid from his faith for a few years, resuming various musical experimentation. In 2002, JAS returned to his faith and began writing Christian based material. The result was his first full length CD "Inspired by The Word of God", which has been selling independently. JAS has been invited to many events and functions to perform his unique, scripturally based music. Old and new alike have been blessed by his unique talents. In March 2003, JAS performed a concert at the Family International Church in Pasadena, CA to kick off the release of the CD. JAS is currently a Minister of Music at the Word of God Christian Fellowship in Duarte, CA., and is working on his follow up CD. He has also written songs for the youth in the church that they have performed at local events.
