Jason earned both his BEd in Secondary General Music & MM in Guitar right at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa. He has taught lessons around town for almost 20 years and has served as faculty at Punahou & UH Manoa. After earning his Master’s, he left music to own/operate J&B Pizza for 5 years and is excited to be coming back to music full time!

 

As a performer, Jason is well known for his diversity, energy, and adaptability. He has been a part of numerous local rock bands, and still currently heads Goat Punishment, a Weezer tribute band. He has also performed extensively as a classical guitarist at venues such as the Mae Zenke Auditorium, Lutheran Church of Honolulu & St. Andrew’s Cathedral. Most notably, he has a passion for performing in musical theater pit orchestras, where he functions both as a multi-instrumentalist (guitar, bass, drum set, keys, mandolin, banjo, brass) & music director.
