Jason Castro
The American Idol tour is about to kick off and I am going for the first time for one reason only...Jason Castro.
He finished 4th and I think in many ways he was mis-represented on the show. The truth is he's a young man who cares a lot about music (he says he's "obsessed" with it) and making a positive impact on people's lives through song.
On his MySpace page he says he is writing songs while on tour and that "I have a simple goal and that is to create songs that grab you by the soul and make you feel, songs that inspire, songs that give joy and songs that make you dream!".
He is a true Singer/Songwriter and not just another reality show contestant. In fact, he says that's why he struggled on the show because he was required to "crank 'em out" and "didn't have time to fall in love with the songs" and make them his own.
I can't wait for his CD to be released. In the meantime, you can hear stuff he did on AI on by going to his MySpace Music page or by doing a Search on You Tube for Jason Castro Studio.
