Endorse Jason Elvin

by Ian Janco
I’ve had the joy of working on countless songs, productions and performances with Jason, and have nothing but respect and gratitude for his professionalism, creativity and dedication to making a song the best it can be. He is easily one of the best guitarists I know, his songwriting is both intuitive and thoughtful, and his production is clear, full and engaging. I could not recommend Jason and his services enough - no matter what your project is, working with Jason will surely take it to the next level!

Have had the pleasure to work alongside Jason on numerous occasions. We’ve written multiple bodies of work ranging from folk Ep’s that have found themselves in international TV and film to working directly with artists for their commercial project. Jason is not only a great communicator but an excellent musician and producer. Would recommend his services to anyone!
