A Canadian singer, guitarist, and songwriter, J. Englishman is an overnight success that took years of hard work to create. After signing with Warner Music Canada, he recorded his first solo album in 2000. The superb debut earned him a Juno nomination and a Best New Solo Artist award from Canadian Radio Music.



Jason Englishman was born in Kingston in 1972. He spent his childhood in a number of little towns in Ontario. Music was always an interest to him. When he was only seven, he began piano lessons, at which he did very well. But as good as he was, the instrument he wanted to play was the guitar. He got his chance when his mother bought him one when he was 14. He taught himself to play by listening to albums or the radio and trying to follow along. A year later an underaged Englishman got permission to perform at local clubs. Soon he joined a band, the Epileptic Fish. It was the normal high school, teen-dream kind of enterprise. The members performed at school-type parties, offering their classmates a mixture of hit tunes from the popular artists of the day.
