Jason Halliday (MD)
“I’ve always wanted to be a musician and I've loved it from the very start. Back then Music seemed a magical thing for me and it still is now. When things come together in music it’s like the best feeling you can ever have; producing is just an extension of that, it’s all the same thing for me at the end of the day; I live for the creativity and the best thing is trying to stay in the moment of creativity. Music is and always will be an embodiment of me"
Jason’s first jazzfunk group was Zushii, he was one half of a duo with Carol Mcleod and their first track was the hit single ‘Surprise Surprise’ after staying together for five singles including their second hit ‘There ain't enough love’ they split and Jason reformed Zushii once before moving on to working with new R&B artists like ‘Sharon Benson and G-Incarna.
“R&B was a new thing for me at that time. I loved working with Sharon and G-Incarna because they were all so very talented and I learned a lot from them both, but my heart was always in jazzfunk”
