You can buy their music here:Biography from www.jasonbrody.com : Jason Brody was born in NYC and raised primarily by his grandparents in a household where rock music was generally considered bohemian if not crude. During his early childhood, Jason studied classical piano to the delight of his family, but the older he got, the more he became infected with the music of his day. For his thirteenth birthday (after much begging) he was given his first guitar. Only a year or so after that, Jason took his first steps as a singer and songwriter. After heading off to pursue an English degree at Columbia University, Jason's early musical career began when he joined a number of working rock bands as a lead guitarist. As a member of several groups with diverse influences, Jason was able to further develop his own unique musical voice and to perform at some of New York Citys most notable rock clubs, including Don Hills, the Mercury Lounge, and Arlenes Grocery. However, as much as Jason relished these experiences, his own music eventually took over as a main priority. While Jason had been writing songs since his early days teaching himself the guitar, by now his musical style and intuition had clicked in such a way that he was hard-pressed to keep up with all of his ideas. He began demoing songs in his East Village apartment as quickly as he could finish them, foreseeing his solo debut. Jason's first album began to take shape and he decided to forgo the usual early solo performances and head straight for the studio. Co-produced with producer/engineer Bryan Martin (Rufus Wainwright, Zap Mama, Mark Eitzel), Brody's first full-length album--titled To the Quick--represents his unique sound and sensibility, which appeals to a wide range of listeners. In the end, music is about evoking feeling, and I guess thats ultimately what I'm after, Jason comments on his craft. Mostly, I just make music that I would want to listen to, and I don't limit myself in terms of what that can be. On To the Quick, we tried not to overdo it, to leave the songs somewhat raw, naked, and instead of trying to make them fit into a particular mold or genre, we just did what each one called for. You can hear more of To the Quick and purchase the album by clicking HERE . In early 2006, rock band The Death of Jason Brody was formed when Jason the solo artist vanished mysteriously in a freak musical accident.
