Jason Paris is a musical tsunami like no other. Is it his Freddie Mercury-style

showmanship, working the crowd into a frenzy? Or his mellow tones, layering

a sexy vibe over the whole audience?

Jason is an extraordinary pianist (fiery, yet finessed) whose style would impress

Little Richard and Elton John and, he possesses an unbelievable four-octave

voice that is both powerful and sensitive. Few performers can carry off

everything from Queen to ABBA in the original key, but Jason can!

With his Elton – The Young Years show, Jason has established himself as a

performer par excellence: athletic, powerful, emotional. But whether he’s

filling auditoriums or pubs, Jason stuns young and not-so-young audiences

alike.

Because of his rare talent, Jason is able to pull off those mind-blowing songs

that audiences love, but few musicians attempt. And he is a master of many

instruments, so he insists on producing his own pro-quality backing tracks,

which bring the excitement of a full band to solo gigs. After auditioning for the

lead role in Queen's We Will Rock You musical, Jason received the following e-

mail from Brian May:

"I listened to your audition CD on the plane back to London. I loved your

originals, and especially your re-creation of Queen's Who Wants To Live Forever. Freddie would've been very impressed!" If that world-renowned

master musician was dazzled, you can be sure that your audience will be too!
