We were lucky to catch up with Jason Abraham recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Jason, thanks for joining us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?

After I graduated college, I went to Audio engineering school. I landed an internship at Wyclefe Studio call Platinum sound. I was working a full-time job while I was interning and I hated it. It killed my creative vibe and I knew in order for me to be happy I had to pursue music full-time.

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 went to full sale University where I studied Audio engineering and have a bachelors of entertainment in business. So like I stated earlier, I got an internship at Wyclef’s Studio call Platinum sound in New York City and really home in on the craft Of engineering. I also sat in on many sessions to play guitar and started doing session work for different artist that came in because I’ve been playing guitar since I was 12. So I started freelancing and being a studio musician, and also audio engineer for different clients that needed my services.. I opened up Flint Hill productions and started my own company in 2014, so I have my own band which I released music with and I also do audio engineering still for clients that need an engineer.. I enjoy what I do. It’s a lot of fun and I’ve always liked being in a creative environment and helping people achieve their goals whether it’s listening to me play or the art and craft of engineering it’s always a spectacular challenge to say the least.

In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?

I think as a society on a musical standpoint, it’s very difficult in the mainstream to find quality music in my humble opinion the really good music you have to search for you’re going to have to dig into the crates and do research and unfortunately most of the youth today are not into doing research. They are fed what they think is music. You definitely cannot compare someone like Duke Ellington to any new genre of music today. The brilliance and in the sophistication of earlier music has been lost, and as a society, we need to bring this back the art and craft of real music. I wish more of the mainstream music was also being created, shared and appreciated as it was back then. One thing we have for us as we didn’t have back then was the Internet, so with the Internet people today, especially the youth can really search out and find great music and maybe start a revolution of some sort, and bring back the sophistication and the true art and craft of music.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

The most rewarding aspect of being an artist is self expression of my emotions. It’s amazing how music can translate, the human emotional state.. also, the reaction of people when they listen to my songs some have cried and have I put smiles on peoples faces. So I would have to say Touching people, with my music is one of the best feelings in the world.
