Who is Jason Malachi?
The Mystery Man. Well, he's Jason Malachi. A mind blowing,
eye-popping, break dancing Italian kind of guy ready to unleash his
powered force into the wild. Born in the outskirts of Washington,
DC, Jason feels that music has always been a major part of his
IDENTITY.
Well, just by the voice you hear you can almost guess who his
inspiration is, but believe it or not Frank Sinatra was his first
inspiration and Nat King Cole, Judy Garland, James Brown, Jackie
Wilson, Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire to name a few. Growing up and
exposing himself to the streets, he was captivated by the
Break-Dance era and couldn't resist the temptation of breaking out
a card board box. He started break dancing at age 5. But out of all
of that dancing, "Nothing caught my attention more than watching
this Anti-Gravity like figure sliding across stages worldwide." You
guessed it, none other than the King of Pop himself.
At the tender age of 9, Jason recalls staying up late with his
uncle singing old Duop songs from groups like The Duprees and The
Flamingos, as well as singing all his favorite Motown classics.
Artists such as Smokey Robinson, The Jackson 5, The Supremes,
Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder had Jason hooked on that Motown
sound. That Sound helped to better enhance the depth of his musical
style.
Growing up as a teenager, you couldn't help getting consumed and
inspired by the Hip-Hop culture. Not only can you be amazed by the
breathy falsetto, but Jason has got the full package. He sings,
dances, and choreographs and his ultimate favorite performing Live.
He was once voted the best performing artist of his school and
received a scholarship to Motion Mania Dance School. He also writes
his own music, which coming from the heart is his motto. "I really
love the level of creativity that can be reached while in the
studio atmosphere. I feel that my best writing occurs when I am
alone, however, I do enjoy collaborative work."
He has worked with producers such as: Damon Sharpe (Damon Sharpe
Music), Wayne M. Wilson, Tony Kurtis (Da Platinum House), Eddy
Jenkins (Midas Touch), Eugene Hanes (Divine Mill), Big Dog
Productions, Yewmon Byers (East Coast Studios), & BlackHouse
Entertainment.
When in the studio, he's collaborating with artists such as Dru
Hill, Ruff Endz, Davinch, Ray Jay, Mr. Slick, Calico, Paula
Campbell and Tony Kurtis.
"I have an influential, yet original sound and style. I always
welcome criticism; whether it is positive, negative or
constructive. I am confident with my talents, yet I am exceedingly
grateful. I always strive for perfection and pray for the very
best."
