In today's episode, we have Jason Swanson, who is originally from Oklahoma City, born to a music-lover family who encouraged him to follow his passion. He went to college and studied music technology. He became intrigued by finger-style guitar and later became a pro at this skill. The thing that's most impressive about Jason is that not only is he like world-class in music production, but he also shoots and edits all of his own videos, and the video that he produces is equally as impressive from just like storytelling and cinematography standpoint. He gets the fulfilling opportunity to lead the music at his church in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
