Biography

Born and raised in Oman, contemporary queer R&B singer-songwriter Jason Dhakal developed his passion for music at the tender age of 4. Thoroughly enjoying various open mic sessions in his early teen years, he soon felt a calling to write and compose his own material after jamming with a friend’s dad who played the guitar one random day. 
 In 2017, Jason set out for the shores of his motherland and based himself in Metro Manila to pursue an independent life in and of music. 
 He marked his breakthrough with his critically-acclaimed debut EP ‘Night In’ in 2018, which saw collaboration tracks with Jess Connelly and dot.jaime. 
 On Valentine’s Day 2020, he released an illustrious seven-track neo-soul project aptly entitled ‘lovesound’, co-produced by celebrated local composer LUSTBASS. He also collaborated with Arthur Nery on “Happy w u” at the end of the year which has been a massive success since its release. 
 Over the past few years, Jason has performed at various festivals such as Fête de la Musique, All Of The Noise, and Double Happiness by 88rising. 
 Inspired by the music of the 2000s, his potent lyricism sensually captures the nuances of his experiences and takes his listeners on that same journey. Jason’s unique sound offers an impressive array, full of sultry passion rooted in fearlessly speaking, writing and living his own truth.
