My passion is to positively color the world with creativity through music, media, and art.
From a very early age, I grew up in a monotonous environment where everything was definite. My friends and I went to school, and my parents worked - everyone had a schedule of tasks. Fortunately, I had access to the sunshine after a heavy rainfall: art. Art brought uncertainty, emotions, color to my life, and best of all, happiness. Other than music and television, art took form in other medians that would help me communicate and ultimately connect with my family on a deeper level. The paintings and sculptures at museums and even the food we ate became a language of emotions that we understood naturally.
My passion will be developed by learning the skills and techniques taught at SOCAPA Summer Music Camp to further my understanding and performance of music. All of my musical activities are all self-taught and self-funded through work. Although I have come this far without paid lessons, I believe SOCAPA can offer guidance and lessons at a professional level that I can utilize to continue my road to coloring the world with creativity through music, media, and art.
"Jason is one of the most motivated students I've ever work with. Although he is involved in numerous clubs and activities, Jason has been able to maintain a high GPA. Jason is someone who understands that his hard work and persistence will help him be successful beyond high school. Jason has taken advantage of every opportunity he's had to pursue music, however limited they may be. Attending SOCAPA Summer Music Camp will allow Jason the opportunity to learn about music in a professional environment."
I can't fully express my gratitude with just words, but trust me when I say that I will never forget what your support means to me. Pursuing music is a tricky thing, especially coming from a traditional family. Luckily, with your help, this vision is becoming a reality. Now that I am able to attend SOCAPA, not only will I get the opportunity to really get an insight into the music culture, I will also get to experience NYU and New York itself to really set a solid foundation for myself.
New York’s coming up in a couple weeks and I’m excited to travel alone. The idea of going through security, rushing to board a flight, and traveling somewhere far for the first time excites me! It’s nice to progress in a passion that once stemmed from a hobby. After trying out classes such as AP Chemistry and Computer Sciences, I realized that my heart is truly set on music. Since I’ve been producing all my music content at home, getting to work in a studio with mentors is an experience that I’ve dreamed to have. Ultimately, I see every class, program, experience as an opportunity to learn who I am. I have a feeling that New York’s is going to be an experience I will never forget, and I can’t wait.

Jason-
So happy you are chasing after your DREAM!! GO YOU! #MakeItHappen.. GO YOU!
Jason, I know you are so passionate about music and so I am excited to support. Looking forward to discussing about what you learn at camp and how it enhances your perspective.
Love music. Make it happen Jason!
I got to go to summer college programs only because someone donated, too.
I have three boys who have found music and drama to be critical to their development. They are better people and better workers for it.
I hope this helps you move forward with your dreams.
Good luck!
I know music helped to shape my life when I was in high school so I'm glad that you've found this outlet for yourself! Best of luck. :)
Jason is a dedicated student and talented musician with incredible passion, and I know he will greatly benefit from an opportunity like this! He deserves it.
