Second guitarist and keyboardist for Cosmic Waste, Jason brings 28 years of mastery to the stage, blending blistering riffs with soaring melodies. A veteran of the scene, he’s shredded and synth’d for bands like MINIKOMA☆, Contender, The Euroboyz, Wrathchild, Nightmare Unicorns, and Sincere Darkness.
Inspired by Bach’s sense of harmony, Emperor’s frostbitten fury, Carcass’ chaos, Cannibal Corpse’s brutality, and Iron Maiden’s epic melodies, Jason’s sound also pulls from Unlucky Morpheus’ virtuosity and Metallica’s thrash bite. When not conjuring sonic storms, he’s geeking out over vintage synths or listening to Japanese pop music.
Outside Cosmic Waste, as “DJ Amaya,” Jason continues to release original electronic music and to produce remixes of songs from around the globe. He spins club sets, fusing house, disco, trance, and techno with retro pop, Japanese, and Korean tracks.
