I have been watching his musical journey since we were teenagers, cheering for him and all his amazing accomplishments along the way. It’s an honor to finally be able to work together.”

“I am honored to be on the Sony/ATV team. I’ve known Amanda since we were kids. We’ve watched each other come up in the business, and it’s exciting to join forces after all these years,” Jason said. “I’ve always been a fan of what Jon does – his love for music and for people is contagious, and I’m excited for this next journey.”

Along with his chart success, Jason’s music has made its way into several blockbuster films. Kehlani’s platinum single “Gangsta” and Skylar Grey’s “Wreak Havoc” were both featured in Suicide Squad, and the hit single “Bom Didi Bom” by Nick Jonas ft. Nicki Minaj was used in the movie 50 Shades Darker. Additionally, the songs “Good Life” by Kehlani and “Mamacita” by Lil Yachty were featured in The Fate of the Furious.

In addition to his career as a songwriter and producer, Jason and his wife Victoria formed a music duo called Elephant Heart in 2016.
