the country boy with soul
Jason Lee born February 12, 1980, and is a father of four beautiful kids. Jason has been singing since the age of five years old. He has been doing cover songs of all his favorite artists and idols such as Garth Brooks, George Strait, and Elvis Presley. He has the ability to tap into some of his idols musical voices including the late, Legendary Prince. Wherever he performs, Purple Rain is always a must do song. He sings Purple Rain like no other has ever heard a country boy do it--with a touch of soul, so many have said. Just recently he found his own sound while cutting his first single “Sweet Summertime So Fine”. It was nominated for Song of the Year at The 2017 Indie Ville TV Awards in Nashville. On May 6, 2017 Jason clenched the win with his manager Phyllis Salter-Gann by his side. Phyllis has been with Jason for over five years. She originally was promoting him on social media. Then, two years ago Jason signed a contract with her management company SalterGann Universal Promotions & Management. Their relationship over the five years developed into one of a mother and son. They couldn’t be more satisfied with the reviews and fan base Jason is currently growing every day. Many have said that he is well on his way to being one of the next big country superstars. His manager was able to get his music aired on BlastFM radio station owned by Bruce Jackson who says Jason has the talent needed to receive a recording contract with one of over 500 record labels which BlastFM has ties with. Bruce Jackson has said one of the most requested songs on the station is “Whole Lotta Honey”--an original. The way things are looking, Jason is headed for a very successful music career soon.
Jason and manager Phyllis Salter-Gann are also known for their strong support for Law Enforcement and other First Responders. They showed their support by recording a cover song “Lead Me Home” after a tragedy where police officers were ambushed by a gunman in Baton Rouge, LA. Three officers were killed, and three officers survived to see another day. They have become known as #The Baton Rouge Six. Jason and manager decided to sell the song due to such high views and shares. All proceeds from the song have and will continue to be donated to these six families.
Jason Lee's music will continue to be managed by SGU for as long as the remaining family decides. We will do all we can to keep his music and memory alive. Thanks for visiting his page. We hope that he touched your heart just as he did ours.

beyond the bayou
Who is your biggest influence?
My biggest influence, not only in my life, but in my music I would have to say would be a guy that has put a spin on Country Music, but has not changed the format and has stayed TRUE to, not only to the roots of real Country Music, but to himself--a man who has his own voice who may have broke a few rules along the way. Once in an interview, I watched him explain how many times they turned him down and told him he would never make it in Country Music, but he kept working at his sound, learning his craft, and one day it all paid off. He was signed by a record label, and the rest is history. Some would say he could fall into the Country Outlaw Genre, but personally I don’t agree with that. He is a man who took a little Rock-n-Roll and Rhythm & Blues and put it all together with a style no one expected, but it worked, and that man is none other than Eric Church.
Where would you be without music?
Without music, there’s no doubt in my mind I would be lost, and it’s hard to answer a question like this because I could never ever imagine music not being in my life; music soothes the soul and makes you happy, sad, laugh, and makes you cry. I was given a talent from God. When I put it out there and the fans reacted to it in a way that I never could've imagined, I knew it was my calling. There's only 5 things that matter to me, and that’s my kids, wife, my Salter Gann Universal Family, my Manager, and most of all the fans; without the fans I would be without music.
What made you decide to sign with SGU Promotions and Management?
To make this long story short, over 6 years ago I was doing little recordings because I just like to sing, and then one day this lady messaged me on Facebook, introduced herself, and told me that she loves my music and asked if I would mind if she shared my music. Then she started saying more of who she is and where she’s from; we hit it off it was like a new friendship that turned into a lot more. We had gotten a lot closer through the years, she gave me advice, she critiques me, explained things to me that I didn’t know. Before I knew it, she became a really close friend! We found a lot about each other’s life and this relationship began to grow and grow and grow! A short while later, I asked her to be my manager. She had me meet a couple of goals first before would accept me, so I went after those goals headfirst! Once I reached my goals, she signed me just like she said she would. I was so excited! I was now going to have a manager and a real music career, and my whole life was about to change for the better. I got the contract, signed it, sent it back, and the rest is history. Mom even got me a Nomination for Country Single of the Year at the 2017 IndieVilleTV Awards in Nashville. We ended up winning that award! Never thought I would make it this far, but with mom I did! From here we are going to the top. I couldn’t imagine being with anyone else. Loyalty is a sacred thing, and I will be Loyal to mom till the day I die along with the rest of us artists in the SGU family. All of us are like family, and there is nothing like that anywhere I have ever seen. That’s what makes SGU so special to me and all of us.
What is your ultimate goal?
Well that’s a tough one. Haha. But, my #1 Goal is to get to do what I do best for the rest of my life; the one thing I love and the one thing that gives me a high better than any drink or drug could ever give me, and that’s performing on stage singing along with that crowd singing my songs back to me. It don’t matter to me if it’s 20 people or 1000 people, I just want to do what I like doing for a living.
What is a fun fact, story, or quirk about you?
Well I sing Purple Rain better then most I’m told, and I’ve even been told by many people when they tell their friends about me they say, "You gotta hear this guy!! Then, I’ll get up and sing it for everyone, and at the end of the song I’ll say, "Hmm, I bet y’all never saw that coming from a white guy with a cowboy hat! Hahaha. People roll with laughter and then come and tell me, "Damn, man, you've got some SOUL-- a little bit of Prince in you!" That's the greatest compliment I can ever get when it comes to music.
