Jason first discovered his fascination with the drums at age five while watching a drummer play during a Sunday service. After the church service was done, he got up on stage and tried out a few of the beats he had seen earlier. With a bit of guidance from the drummer that he looked up to that day, Jason started finding his rhythm behind the kit and the the rest is history.

Throughout his school years, Jason took drum lessons from a few well-known South African drummers and started playing in bands together with his friends. Out of high school, he did a 2-year tour with a performing arts group called ‘C-Kruis’ (later known as 13th Floor), after which he started to slowly make his way onto the local Contemporary Christian Music scene as a drummer-for-hire.

Besides being the current ‘first-choice’ live drummer for artists like Riana Nel, Retief Burger, and Stella, Jason is often called upon as a stand-in for various occasions when drummers are unavailable.
He is also constantly busy recording drums out of his drum room for a wide variety of international artists, in between the time he spends living out his other passion, which is teaching drums to a wide variety of students, both in-person and online.
