Represent is watching: Jason Mraz
Have you heard of this dude? We’re guessing probably not yet, but if you’re lucky enough to be watching Ugly Betty then you may have heard his voice on the song “If Beauty is Ugly”. He’s got a soulful acoustic guitar thing going…bit of a George Michael *Ed screams hysterically* touch… If you’re into John Mayer, Sons of Trout, Maroon 5 or Dave Matthews (homeboy!) you will more than likely dig his acoustic soul and smooth lyrics. So all we’re saying for now is watch this crooner. Remember who told you first 🙂 Enjoy the Jason Mraz live latino style track below – a few bum notes and guitar slips but he seems to rock the party nonetheless!

His Bio tells us:
Rocking socks in Flip-flops signifies that it must the chilly season in southern California. “This is a delight,” Jason Mraz, a Virginia Born transplant says of the sudden drop in temperature to a mere 57 degrees. “By golly I bet it could snow,” He jests. “I’m still new to Palm trees as a stand-in for the Spruce.”
7 Holiday seasons, 6 albums and 3 websites later, Atlantic Recording Artist Jason Mraz is planting his troubadour roots firmly into the sands and soils of the San Diego music scene. Currently working on his third studio album at home, Mraz makes time for surfing, landscaping, & meticulous recycling when he’s not writing or playing the role of photo-docu-manitarian. “That’s a word I made up to make taking Polaroids sound more profound. Anything creative, like gardening, cooking, taking snapshots, or even sports… is juggling a sport? Anyway, it’s what I like to refer to as ‘fillin’ up the well.’ If what you’re putting into your body and mind is good stuff, then good stuff is what you’re most likely going to give out.” Mraz, who visited 16 countries in 2006, is putting together his first book of Polaroid Pictures based on his travels. “What I love about instant photography is that it captures the moment. Digital Photography can sometimes take you out of sync with the real moment always unfolding before you. Digital gives you the option of erasing the moment and trying to produce a better one. I’d rather sit and wait until the light is right before I snap an image. If anything, I get to sit with my subject and truly savor the moment.” Mraz’s message is clear. Live in the moment. Be present. “And say thank you for everything.” He adds. “…and Thank YOU for adding that.”
