I, Jason Nemor Harden, am a musician who specializes in vocals and saxophone. I am also and actor.
I was born and raised in Houston, Texas and am also a citizen of Iceland. I became involved in music while playing professional basketball in Iceland.
My most important skills are my singing, writing and saxophone playing.
I am self taught as an musician, producer, actor. What sets my voice apart is that I have a bass-baritone range with a 3 octave range which comes in handy for back vocal work. As a saxophonist I don’t lock myself into a specific genre.
