ABOUT JASON K. ROY
Acknowledged as "the type of presence that instantly demands complete and utter attention" (Sarah Casselman - Toronto, Ontario, Canada), Canadian singer-songwriter Jason K. Roy has witnessed the depth of his music create countless acclaim near & abroad, ever since the release of his first EP in May of 2006.
Originally from Edmundston, New Brunswick, Canada, Jason has lived in Moncton, NB since 1996. From studying, to traveling overseas, to fostering his creative spirit, all has transformed Jason into what he is as an artist today.
Be it his endearing and distinct voice, his demonstrated passion for songwriting, gorgeous guitar work combined in effortless synergy with his honest, passionate delivery, or the overall soothing cinematic appeal of his music, the experience is nothing less than memorable and does not disappoint.
Currently working on his first full length album (recording scheduled to start in October 2008, release date to be announced), 2008-2009 will bring forth more public showcases, collaborations and more great songs from this yet undiscovered Canadian singer-songwriter. Jason hopes to share his music live in his dearly loved Canada, and also in France, UK, Ireland and surrounding countries in the coming year.
