Reviewer: Jim Slavin www.jimslavin.com
Great stuff! Obvious influences of jack Johnson, Dave Mathews, but you own it and your own style and voice come through. Nice work. -Jim

Nina - CD Baby Review (Apr 2, 2006)
Wonderful, destined to be a big star

The cd is bananas, contains more then 12 potential hits, not even John Mayer can say that.
Gene - CD Baby Review (Apr 27, 2006)

Reviewer: Manning Baumgardner
When this kid gets back from New Zealand he is going to hit the ground running! There is nobody aout there right now who can touch him- not Jason Mraz, Teddy Geiger, or John Mahr for that matter! Watch Out!

'Jason O' aims to be household name

By Kristen Cantor
Collegian Staff Writer
Jason your music is absolutely amazing i love your style, your beats your rhythms. Your hands your voice, your soul they speak a beautiful language I can listen to you talk all day. I was so excited when I received your CD yesterday in the mail. I couldn't wait to listen to it. I told my mother before hand about your great accomplishments and let her listen to your songs that you had on your page when she came in the room she thought i was listening to the radio. Anyways needless to say I wasn't surprised at all when I loved every song on your CD. I made my mother, father, brother and sister-in -law listen too they all really enjoyed it. You know how it's really hard to find a CD that you love every song on; usually you can pick one or two songs out and skip the rest. Well Thank You for giving me hours and hours to come of great listening pleasure. I love Coldplay (which I think you have a touch of their style) and their Parachute album I listen to it all the time well you just gave them competition. Might I add your falsetto voice is wonderful. Your song "Just Dreaming" for example two min in your falsetto is great... as well as the song itself. When you play, it sounds like it can't really be just one person playing it all. YOU sound like a full band awesome job. I'm really so proud of you. Your whole CD is wonderful. You should post your lyrics with your album; I always like reading the lyrics to the songs. If you ever want an honest opinion on any of your work even if it's not what you want to hear at least it would be honest I’ll give it to ya. You have the talent Jason to tell the world anything you would like and put it into a song. There are so many people out there that want to be heard and have so much to say but just can't find the way. You found your way and people will listen that's the amazing part. You could never run out of things to say. You’ll always have your own stories. People usually look for comfort through songs think about it...songs they make people laugh, happy, sad, they open their eyes they even make them cry. For many, music helps them through there every day battles whatever they may be, so when you're writing your songs you could target certain people that you would like to touch and inspire them through your beautiful language with your voice and your hands. You have the power Jason use it. OR if you get really bored you could always write a song about me haha you wouldn't know where to begin. Anyway, back to your album the whole thing is great my top 3 are Cherry on Top, Just Dreaming, and Stay. Back to the Beat is pretty creative too. You are going to make a great inspiring artist with many more albums and stories to come.
