Hey there! My name’s Jasen. 

I’ve spent my life exploring all kinds of creative outlets, but this channel is primarily focused on music (with a few random skits thrown in for good measure)

I've been singing most of my life, been playing piano for over 35 years and I am always learning something new! During the pandemic I picked up guitar and continue to grow in my skill and understanding of that instrument.

My go-to styles are Western swing, gospel, vintage country, blues, vintage jazz and classical (particularly the works of Chopin). I love playing with others so have explored many genres throughout my life.

You'll find a mix of styles and ideas here, mostly just explorations and experiments with sound. I'm working toward a more consistent posting schedule, adding in some tutorials, and I'm always willing to offer any advice or guidance I can as you continue your music journey.

Thanks for stopping by!
