Beatmind Music + Musician in Valrico, FL

SEEKING

ABOUT

The journey into music mirrors the journey through life in a way that has always captured Jason's spirit and imagination. While performing you get a sense that he is exploring with child like curiosity... thoughts of happiness, love, and empathy. This ability to convey emotions through the craft of drumming make his playing and approach both fearless and boundary pushing. That fearlessness has led him to national acclaim in the creative jazz, soul, and funk realms of the music industry. Stander's still young career has brought him through many demanding situations, all of them shaping and forging his talent along the way. Working with Bakithi Kumalo(Paul Simon), Robert Lockwood Jr, Billy Martin, Todd Clouser, Worldwide Zoo, No End of Now, Green Sunshine, and Public Sounds Collective we have seen a drummer that nods toward tradition, listens for the future, and PLAYS FOR THE NOW! Every moment an opportunity to connect through the art of drumming.
