Jason
Scott Stewart, a
native son of Albuquerque, NM, currently resides in the
mountains behind the city. He says: "There's a mystical
presence about this place. I'm hoping it will serve as
the inspiration to raise the music to the next level".
Stewart is entirely self-taught, save for acing every
possible guitar course in high school, receiving a
write-up in the school yearbook, receiving a Letter and
two Bars in guitar, receiving two "Superior" ratings in
a city-wide competition, playing in eight guitar
concerts and assemblies (to many standing ovations),
and, finally, receiving the only scholarship offered for
guitar. He took some jazz lessons early on and then
spent hours on end, practicing rigorously (up to 10
hours in one sitting) for the next decade. He is a total
original and strives every day to learn more. His
appetite is voracious when it comes to "The Music".
He had an obvious attraction to the guitar at the age of
twelve years old. Also, his versatility knows no bounds.
His keyboard playing is second only to his guitar
playing. His bass playing is on the level of bassists
that have committed their entire lives to it. His range
of material is just as impressive. It runs from
expansive movie soundtracks to blazing shred metal. He's
also an advanced lyricist, vocalist and has been
recording and engineering his own material for over ten
years. Jason Stewart feels like he hasn't even begun,
yet. Hold on to your hats!
