My professional career has been centered primarily on commercial rock but my writing ranges from commercial to folk rock and anything else that catches my ear. The intent of this website is as a platform to showcase original music demos for two main reasons: i) Just because and ii) to make those who may be interested in collaborating and/or purchasing the rights to any of these songs aware of the material.
All recordings/songs on this website have been assigned an International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) and are registered with the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN).
Below are a couple of short demo-albums of 4 songs each along with lyrics and some other recordings associated with former bands that I have recorded with:

This comedic maritime flavored song entitled Kiss Da Cod, which references Stompin Tom in tribute during the chorus, is a folly on life and politics etc. Kiss Da Cod is a play on words built around not only the kissing of the cod as an eastern tradition but also that we as Canadians kissed the cod goodbye due to poor management. The take home is “get on board and kiss a cod” and everything will be alright. My pseudonym for this and future follies is Sveny Scepula, (Newfy Super Model/Under Garment Specialist) HAVE A LSTEN and check out the image of Sveny Scepula!
Recorded at Rocket Fish Studio 1994, prince George, BC, Canada Rocketfish Productions is now closed in Prince George. We'd like to thank our customers and staff for 15 great years of making great music and vibes. During our time in Prince George, we recorded more than 400 albums which went on to sell a combined total of more than 500,000 units internationally. We worked with famous, infamous and incredible artists. Rocketfish Productions is many things but most proudly, we were a born and bred Prince George studio that always kept it's heart in the local scene and culture. Thanks a bunch for the good times!

Jason is local engineer with great ears and great passion for his art. He would be thrilled to pick up where Rocketfish has left off and serve all of your audio needs.
