We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Jason Greenlaw. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Jason below.

Jason, appreciate you joining us today. What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?

As always – my original music. It is a constantly evolving and moving reflection of who and where we are as an artist. At any given point in time writing and performing my original music is always the most meaningful. I’ve released multiple albums and singles with multiple groups. Right now my new album to be released under my own name is the most meaningful project.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I’ve been playing music since I was in second grade in elementary school. My musical journey began with the violin playing with my school’s orchestra. I eventually transitioned to the alto saxophone towards the end of elementary school and into the first couple years of middle school. Following in the footsteps of my older brother (as any younger brother tries to do), I dropped both of my previous instruments and picked up the electric guitar in sixth grade. Almost twenty years later it is now the center focus of my professional life as an educator and performer.

As a performer I work with jazz groups, rock bands, wedding bands, orchestras, and operas to name a few. Regardless of the genre, client, or venue I always deliver the best performance possible and hire the best musician’s available to support the show.

I am most proud of the musicians I have and continue to work with, and my ever growing original compositions. I am constantly improving all aspects of my musicianship with every performance.

Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative?

A popular narrative told about people who work in creative professions is “If you love what you do, then you’ll never work a day in your life”. I don’t believe this to be true. As with every profession there are times of struggle, lack of inspiration and motivation, and doubt. Any artist must work on balances the work with finding time and space to participate in your craft in ways that remind of why you started. Sometimes this means taking a break too!

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

Keep learning, and keep creating.
