Crossing Paths with Composer Jason Michael

4/29/2019

Somehow I always end up crossing paths with the most interesting people while I am out jogging. Back in 2017, I was jogging in my OC neighborhood and passed by a home that had recently been sold. There was a guy  diligently working in the yard with his dog nearby. Curious about the dog and  wanting to welcome his family to the  neighborhood I stopped to chat with the young man.  Jason Michael was his name and  he introduced me to his dog, a very large friendly German Shepherd named Max. It was a short conversation, and from that point on I stopped to say hi whenever I passed by, always talking about Max and Jason's latest landscaping project. His Texas sage bushes are stunning.!

A few months later, I stopped to give Max a few treats and Jason mentioned he was working on a new song about Max and my German Shepherd puppy (they played together by this point).  WHAT!?  He is a musician? I had no idea!  We got to talking and I mentioned I was having trouble finding appropriate music for my latest indie project PATHBREAKERS. I asked if he knew any composers for cinema.  Jason was very interested in the subject matter and immediately offered me access to his massive portfolio. Wow! Really? YES!

​Off I went to listen to his library and I was blown away.  I listened to every song and then googled him like crazy. Where has this artist  been?  Jason and his wife, LA transplants, are hidden in right here in my Oak Cliff neighborhood.  What a gem for my town of Dallas.  ​

Clearly, I do not get out much.   Jason has musical chops for sure. Check out his bio at the end of my blog.  He is no amateur. Jason has been composing and performing and  traveling the world since he was a teenager. His voice is extraordinary.   Needless to say, I was impressed, thrilled and grateful  he was willing to help me out.  With so many superb compositions, it was difficult to choose.   I finally selected the acoustic version of  One Short Minute. It fit perfectly with the message of the film. 

Here is the link to One Short Minute.  Take a moment to check out  more  of Jason's amazing work and his impressive  bio at https://www.jasonmichaelmusic.com

PATHBREAKERS has its world premiere in Dallas Texas at The African Film Festival in June.
