I have been in the music business for several decades. Part of my work has been to locate unusual, standout talent who might have global impact and appeal. Jason Ji is one of those. His guitar playing, stage presence and natural joy and energy fill a room in a way that will make your event truly successful. We had a full PA set up because he also played with guitar with our 8-man band. But you could have him join with just his guitar and amp, and he would make an hour or two one of the more impactful events and moments. Highly--highly-- recommend working with him. His technical capacities are exceptional with a soulful guitar delivery that is sui generis. Our audience of about 90 people were riveted. I enjoyed working with him. 5 Stars +
