…The reason I was able to stay in San Diego for so long was that I scored a house-sitting job. Someone had a house for sale and they needed somebody to stay in it. So I stayed and the house didn’t sell for two years. So I basically landed this rent-free house for two years. I found one of the first things I was doing was sleeping the entire day. I would get up in the afternoon and go to the coffee shops and hang out there all night. I was so happy. ‘Sleep All Day’ was the first song I wrote when I got to San Diego.

“Love has been a continual theme through my work probably because of music. Because I love music, I love singing and I know that songs, when they’re really from the heart, they’re born out of this place of love. Just from loving life, loving others, loving your surroundings, loving who you are. So I sing from that place… and it feels so fucking good that I want to share it with others. It’s like, wow! This feeling of love! You gotta experience this too! Because it feels really good when you just really let go. So, that’s been a continual thing. Even though I’ve always felt that I’ve had access to this love within, I also wanted to get to that place where I had it so down, that I could really give it to someone else. Fully. And that’s really what this album was about for me. Getting to that place. Learning how to do that. So, I probably have music to thank for it.”

I sing from the heart and just think about what will work in a live show. Everything else for me, and I don’t mean to belittle the album making experience at all, the CD becomes a merch [merchandise] item and becomes something the audience can pick up on their way out of the show.

I love sleeping. And if my cat is in the bed I don’t get up at all. I don’t mind getting up early in the morning. I’m a surfer - I’ll get up in the morning before the sun comes up to catch it. But if my cat (Holmes) is in the bed with me, usually in my arms, there’s no way I’m gonna turn the alarm off and I’m not getting up until the cat does.

I’ve been honestly doing everything I can at home to reduce my emissions and live carbon neutral and sustainably. Then also on our tours, we’re looking into everything we can to get on bio fuels, and we’re starting to plant trees all over the world. So everywhere we stop on tour, we’re going to be planting trees, and that’ll be something. We can watch these trees grow year after year and add more trees as we do that. I felt I needed to be doing something to take responsibility for how much carbon I emit just through my job.

If I feel good about myself when I’m happy with myself and my life if I have energy and strength and my mind is fully present. This is the basic requirement in order to create something that inspires others also. Because that is my goal as a musician: I want to give people something. Something that makes their lives better.

According to Jason, spending time with U Theater drummers and artists offered him a chance to attain greater Zen, especially through conversations with the founder of U Theatre musician Master Huang. The two share a powerful devotion to searching for the incredible side of life in everything they do, and their meeting was tremendously fruitful.

As a writer I always write about things going on in my life, and what I know, what I’ve been through. And I feel like if there’s ever been a profound shift in my life, or something that’s occurred to me that’s woken me up or got me to the next level, that’s when it’s best to write a song and gives me purpose in writing music as well.

A remarkable thing happened on the bike trail near my house in San Diego. I could smell a pungent skunk but I knew better. At first I thought someone was being sneaky in the woods, but low and beholding were two cyclists ahead of me passing a joint back and forth between their spandex frames. I couldn’t believe my luck. OF COURSE I pedaled up next to them and got myself in the rotation. You don’t pass up a rare opportunity like that. I never slowed down nor removed my headphones. We shared the moment rolling along, nodding smiles and throwing peace signs, the international gestures for It’s all good.
