jason norris is an up and coming singer-songwriter who has had phenomenal success since he arrived in london in 2004. he has been signed to independent a&r records, and matchbox internet radio has been thrashing ?aeroplanes? on air, as well as including it on a compilation released in conjunction with tower records. his soulful pacific roots performances, combining masterful guitar playing and a mesmerizing earthy voice, have impressed crowds at many london venues including spice of life (soho), half moon (putney), windows bar - hilton (park lane), blag club (notting hill), the lush (camden), lark in the park (islington) and edwards (richmond).
after leaving waikato university in 1998, he released two ep?s independently, with the 'so many questions' ep selling over a thousand copies nationwide and receiving airplay on both radio and tv. following a tour of nz and australia, he came to london to take his career to the next level.
likened to ben harper and lenny kravitz, journalists and critics have taken him to heart:
?jayson norris's music is a lesson in how to make one acoustic guitar sound like five, his songs are full of energetic fast guitar mixed with a voice that an angel would happily sue you for. really well written songs preformed with gusto? shaun litton - up all night music (london).
? this man writes songs that stick in your head when you brush your teeth, have your lunch, have a snack, and go to bed at night?. brilliant light pop....? dave chislett.
he is now performing with two fellow expats, darren ormsby and rick smith.
