Bio
Fans characterize Jason Cheek's musical style as a cross between Nickelback and Styx. Jason was born under the bright lights of Hollywood in Los Angeles but rose to the beat of Metal and Rock on the gravel roads of Dry Ridge, Kentucky. Jason is an experienced singer, songwriter, and guitarist. He has just finished recording his newest CD with his band Stonecoma. The CD is called “Hypnotized” which features a mix of Rock/Blues/Heavy Metal music.
In addition to his talents on stage, he also enjoys writing songs. He identifies themes, composes the lyrics, and develops the melodies for all of his works. He wrote all the arrangements of each of the songs on his new album except Hooked. He has completed a multitude of songs in a wide variety of styles (Pop, Rock, Romantic Ballads, Country, etc.)
What I really love about playing music is being able to make someone feel the way I felt when I wrote the song. -- Jason
Jason has an in-your-face and intimidating on-stage presence as a guitarist. He has performed concerts in styles ranging from classical guitar to hard core metal.
Jason’s vocal prowess is quite impressive as well. He can belt out hard rockin’ power lines such as Alice in Chains’ “Man In the Box”. Then bring it down to a soft sheen of Styx’s “Come Sail Away”. He can also harmonize with any in-tune singer. His range is from blistering high notes to some earthy low tones.
The music for his albums Retrospector (Owen’s Burn) and I’m The One (Custom Made) was recorded in Edwardsburg, Mi and Middletown, Ohio respectively. In addition to writing most of the music for Custom Made, Jason produced all of the songs along with long time music friend Brian Norman. Retrospector was written alongside of John Wolf and Todd Bouwkamp. The track “French Angel” became a hit internationally and stateside. “Owen’s Theme” was the second video on Youtube with French Angel as the first.Jason has recently shared the bill with Royal Bliss, American Fang, Jack Russell's Great White and Black Stone Cherry!
