BIOGRAPHY
Traveling in general has had a great impact on Jason. He’s been to 27 countries in the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia. In ’93 he participated in a Canada World Youth cultural exchange with Indonesia, where he lived with a family in a small village in Central Java for 3 ½ months helping with rural development projects and experiencing Indonesian culture.
After returning from a trip to Malaysia and Singapore at the end of 2000 Jason began working with a crew called Symbolik Music. Made up of former members of Cryptik Souls, Symbolik Music Crew has been performing a unique brand of stage show, which incorporates Theatre and Hip Hop. The response has been really good and Symbolik Music has done shows at NXNE, CMW and in Kingston and Guelph, along with a long list of shows around Toronto.
In May 2002 Jason participated in the first Innoversity Creative Summit at the Sheraton Hotel, Toronto, and walked away a two-time winner. He pitched a radio show idea, “Frequency Jam”, to the CBC and was awarded a pilot episode. The pilot is now complete and will be airing in the very near future. He also pitched a short radio piece entitled “The Urban Soundscape”, that aired on CBC’s Metro Morning show November ’02.
Currently Vandal is busy working the release of his first album, “The Nomadic Addict”, on his own record label Urban Camper Entertainment. Vandal is working with Symbolik Music Crew on recording and writing tracks for their up-coming release. He is also preparing more tracks for a future international compilation and looking to get out and travel the world doing what he loves…
Hip Hop.
