Over the last few years and several gigs in Hawaii, Jason has added the ukulele to his act. Breaking the stereotype of the instrument by covering songs by the Beatles, Frankie Valli and Queen. He includes many songs from what has been called the Hawaiian music renaissance of the 70's, featuring artists such as Cecilio and Kapono, Kalapana, Ka'au Crater Boys, Olomana, Keola and Kapono Beamer and many others. Jason has said that although the songs he learned in Hawaii may not be new, it was new to him, and gave him the ability to explore a different style of music and enhance creativity. It also gave Jason the chance to learn, through its music, the history, the stories, and discovery of the heart and soul of Hawaii.
