Jason Masi is an American/DC based singer-songwriter. He got his start with Jubeus, his college band, opening for acts like Blind Melon, Everclear, and SOJA.

Masi stepped out as a solo artist in 2010. He has since released four solo studio albums, Balance & Pull, Life Is Wonderful, Power of a Woman, and Capture the Heart.

His transition led him to supporting slots for hit songwriters like John Waite and Darryl Worley and has kept him busy as a full-time musician performing over 200 shows a year between writing and recording new music. 

Masi’s latest work has been featured in over 60 scenes of the #1 hit daytime drama, The Young and the Restless.

Masi’s music explores multiple genres but is often classified as acoustic rock with elements of folk, r&b, and country. Masi cites influences that range from classic soul artists like Marvin Gaye and Bill Withers to folk and blues icons like Van Morrison and James Taylor as well as modern songwriters in the vein of Mat Kearney, Damien Rice, and James Morrison. His songs are reflective and thought-provoking, yet maintain a free spirited and lighthearted tone. Masi’s songwriting explores the complexity of love and compromise from a unique but relatable perspective. 

He approaches his music in much the same way he does life. His laid-back and easygoing personality translates into the lyrics and tone of his music while his performances are energetic and portray him as the hardworking musician he is. It's a contrast that suits Masi well, as he goes from connecting with new fans like they are old pals and catching up with longtime fans before he takes the stage for a lively and passionate set.
