Producer, Songwriter, Multi-Instrumentalist and Singer
Jason Mendelson is a producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, who has been creating music as far back as his earliest childhood memories. Today, he uses his music as a platform for both self-expression and bringing visibility to charitable causes across the globe. He is the co-owner of Good Noise Studios in Palm Springs with Matt Sorum (Guns N’ Roses / Velvet Revolver / The Cult) and Good Noise Studios East in Denver, Colorado.
Jason's earliest musical inspirations include The Police, Elton John, Jim Croce, The 5th Dimension, Dolly Parton, and Disco Duck. These sources of inspiration remain true today and inspire his musical style. Jason's fascination with the musical palette lends itself to his desire to produce a diverse range of work, while never deviating from his focus on building a melody that latches onto the listener with that 'hook' that imparts a message he's trying to get across.
Jason's path into the music industry has been anything but conventional. What started as beating pots and pans on the floor of a single-mother household grew into a life-long passion for percussion and music, in general. Later in life, a hand injury in college would result in years of laying his drumsticks down to rest, but he would return back to music nearly 30 years later after pursuing a diversified portfolio of career pursuits from software engineering and law, to venture capital and entrepreneurship.
Throughout his multifaceted career path, music remained a constant and to this day, a driving force of his creativity and self-identity that has inextricably bolstered his success in other areas of his life. He says, “Music has always been my north star and the most consistent thing in my life since I was three years old. Everything else has been a diversion from that for a period of time.“
Now the question is: "Who is this Jace Allen guy?" :).
