In 2008 he successfully auditioned for the AFM band and began a new career as a professional musician. He has already undertaken tours of Germany and Libya where he has shown a desire to learn from experienced musicians from other countries. In 2010 Jason passed the ABRSM Diploma with the guidance of Andre Helleur.
