About Jason Catron

"The journey may have seemed long, but I know it's just a new beginning," states Jason Catron of his debut, self-titled release. "I grew up singing.
It's all I have ever known, and for years it defined who I was. But God took my life down a different path - a path that has prepared me for my ministry today." Jason's ministry has now brought him full circle - back to the musical talent he developed as a child.

"He has uniquely gifted me and provided me so many opportunities. The question I continually ask myself is 'What will I do with these gifts?'"

The answer to that question can be found within Jason's new CD. The project is filled with beautiful, classical style delivered with a new,
refreshing air. Catron's rich and smooth vocals are effortlessly wrapped around each song and leave the listener sitting in awe of the talent, but more importantly of the Creator to which they are directed.

Jason grew up in Kentucky and from an early age pursued classical vocal training. "I was never the odd man out among friends at school, but it was hard at times to connect with my peers musically. My voice has always been mature - it was comical at times, perhaps, to see this small kid with such a big voice. I still get comments today about how such a big sound can come out of such a small body."

There is no Kentucky twang in this seasoned and matured voice. Jason grew up listening to such power vocalists as Michael Crawford, Andrea Bocelli, Steve Green, and Sandi Patti. Although musical theater may have seemed a natural fit, Catron always felt his heart being pulled to the church. "I have always had a love for the church. God demands that we love each other and that we love the church. Of course, many people have been hurt by 'churched' people, but I choose to see the good in the body and share it. My passion is to encourage and uplift the body of Christ. If Jason Catron Ministries were to cease to exist tomorrow, the world would go on, but if the church were to disappear, we are all in trouble."

With this vision and passion, Jason set out to make a project that would speak directly to the church. He succeeded. He enlisted the help of veteran writer and producer Steve Siler to make this dream a reality. "I searched for some time for the right person to come along and help me create this music. Steve played me a song over a cup of coffee at a meeting for another artist I work with, and the rest is history."

Jason teamed up with Steve and Philip Keveren and came up with seven of the ten timeless pieces on the album.  "I basically gave Steve and Philip the direction and themes of what I wanted to say. It was amazing to see God work out the details of each song."  From the awe inspiring opening, "In Pastures Green" to the commanding "Psalm 103," the project is filled with grand and majestic orchestration that pulls the listener along on a journey of the grandeur of our Creator. At other times your heart will be torn out by a combination of smooth vocals, rich strings, and inspiring lyrics from selections like "Oh, I Want To Know You More" and "Gift."

"I am most proud of the three songs on this record that are straight from scripture. There is no disputing the power and testimony of singing scripture."  "When I am Weak," "Psalm 103," and "Then I Will Hear" will take you into a sincere time of worship as you listen to and ponder the Word of God. 

The highlight of the record comes from the moving "Gift." It is a depiction of someone looking at Christ during His last moments on the cross and trying to understand why He would suffer and die for the sins of humanity.

If this is only a beginning, we can only anticipate what lies ahead from this incredible talent. By creating a timeless, church focused project, there are no limits or restraints on the life of such an honest work. "I just want to spend my days encouraging and challenging my friends and fellow believers. That is what God has called me to do. We each have our own unique experiences and callings. Some may be to rock and others to classical.  Some may be to medicine and others to politics. The bottom line is we are all called. I want to motivate the church to rise to the challenge."
