Take the music scene by storm

A Lisburn singer is set to take the music scene by storm and follow in the footsteps of other home grown illustrious musicians. Local heart throb, Jason Clarke’s latest single ‘LOVING YOU’ may well be the vehicle to propel him there.

Jason, who grew up in the North Circular Road area, has been described as a cross between The Script and Paolo Nutini, started to make a name for himself last year when his debut single ‘GOTTA GO’ received over 30,000 views online. Following that, his own unique spin on Shakin’ Steven’s ‘Merry Christmas Everyone’ - which he filmed at night on Belfast’s Royal Avenue - ranked up over 10,000 views last December in a matter of days. With play list placement and studio appearances across all key stations in the UK, NI & ROI markets, combined with his drive and soulful distinctive voice, Jason has high hopes of cracking the music scene in the UK and beyond.

The new single ‘LOVING YOU’, which was released on June 3, was written a couple of years ago when the talented singer was studying at Napier University in Edinburgh, but he wanted to wait for the right time to release it, he said:

“I’m quite picky about my music, in terms of what I release and when.

“I’ve written lots of songs that, at the time I was really passionate about, but for one reason or another, fell out of love with and so I’ll never release them. I need to feel and believe what I am singing.”

Jason also credited his father Rodney and mother Avril for their support. “They’ve been so good to me helping me along the way,” said Jason.

In the 28 year old’s short career, he has sung with some of the most distinguished names in the music industry, including Paolo Nutini, Joan Armatrading, Shane Ward, Ronan Keating and Brian Kennedy. But it seems the young Belfast lad won’t need any help to pack out venues on his own, as last year he performed at the Belfast Empire Music Hall live to an online audience of 10,000, as well as his own sold-out headline shows. He has also co-written with world-renowned songwriters, Iain Archer, JD Souther and Beth Nielsen Chapman.

With a headline gig set to take place in Belfast over the summer (date to be announced) and more singles to be released this year, Jason Clarke is one artist worth watching.

‘Loving You’ is available now on iTunes, Amazon, and other online stores
