| If I Were You, the debut CD by Jason Hart, is an intensely personal work recorded over the course of nearly four years. The CD features guest performances by Rufus Wainwright, Antony (Antony and the Johnsons), Ana Torroja (Mecano) |
| Several years of intense labour and thought have culminated in the birth of twelve dynamic original compositions that bravely convey a lifetime of experience and emotion. Jason's heartfelt vocals and extraordinary keyboard work are supported by strings, drums, bass, guitar, sax, harmonica and flute... musical tapestries which touch the heart and stir the soul. |

| Jason Hart is a singer/songwriter and keyboard player who has performed and recorded extensively with Rufus Wainwright, Antony and the Johnsons, Keren Ann, Nacho Cano and others. He has shared the stage with many music legends, including Elton John, Lou Reed, Moby, the B52's and Kris Kristofferson. He has most recently toured as support act for Marillion in the US and Canada. |
| A New Yorker raised in East Tennessee, Jason started his musical education at age 6. As a child, he won numerous piano competitions throughout the South but became bored with the discipline of learning the 'classics' and started writing his own songs. Early compositions were influenced by an odd mixture of musical theater and 'progressive' rock artists like Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel. To this day, Jason's writing references elements of these diverse styles, as well as his favourite singer/songwriters, from Joni Mitchell and Elton John to Tori Amos and Rufus Wainwright. |
| After a time writing jingles and music for the theater, a job playing keyboards for a Spanish pop star and writing top-40 hits in Spain (as well a stint teaching English to actress Penelope Cruz), and a period developing a short-lived group called "Dramapop", Jason decided to throw caution to the wind and move forward as a solo artist. |
