Born into a very multicultural society of Trinidad, West Indies, Jason Sultan-Khan was immediately exposed to eccentricities in musical styles that led to a passion for music of all genres and further ignited his drive to create flavors for the moods that are altered by the seasons. Jason is a natural singer/songwriter and performer. One is immediately drawn into his music through the strength and conviction of his unique voice coupled with powerful lyrics that express the complexities of life and relationships as they truly are. Like a great photographer he captures life's moments through music and poetry with his keen sense of observation and introspection.
As a solo and original 'live' performer, Jason's stage persona is as intense and honest as artists like: Cat Stevens, Eddie Vedder and Kurt Cobain. He is an exciting young artist with an old soul who takes his audience deeply into each moment of his songs. Put simply Jason Sultan-Khan is a downright pleasure to watch and to listen to in a live setting whether it be a small intimate venue or the big stage. He convinces one and all through the sheer confidence and honesty of his performance and his excellent songwriting.

Having had the pleasure to work with such artists as Default, Swollen Members, Smoother, Not By Choice, Kathleen Edwards, Staggered Crossing, Stabilo, Doctor, Grindig, Morning Maker, Hennessey, Stuck on Saturn, Stone Melodies, Nine Mile, The Populars, Bif Naked, Sultan-Khan has learned and continues to learn that learning about this industry never ends, but it is refreshing to know that having met so many talented people thus far, one will get out of this journey whatever one is willing to put into it.
JSK, as more of a singer/songwriter, has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Danny Michel, Jian Ghomeshi, Chris and Kate, The Rockin Highliners, Jeremy Fisher, Craig Cardiff, Martina Sorbara, and support on two consecutive nights for Sarah Slean.
Educated by experience, but experienced enough to realize that its always the beginning of a new lesson, JSK has an ambitious ugly agenda that involves debt, dues, and a lot of tired shoes.
LITTLE LADY LUCK by Jason Sultan-Khan
Why is there a haze in front my window?
And why is there a page ripped out of my book of lies?
And whats with all the indecision hindering my progress?
Suddenly I get the feeling that I get underneath a watchful eye
LITTLE LADY LUCK,
I dont give a. . .
. . .forget about it.
Id rather make mine.
. . forget about it.
Id rather make my own time.
Why is mine somebody elses shadow?
And why do I hear lyrics I recorded years before?
And whats it gonna take for it to finally come together?
I suppose a little lady luck or a little lash of something more
Listen to, listen to, listen to the sound of
Ugly indecision drag you up and down and inside out
Cry for me, cry if it didnt go your way
Keep in mind somebody else will gladly come and take your place
It drags you down. . .
I refuse to live in somebody elses shadow.
Whore by Jason Sultan-Khan
You ever feel you going no where,
Feel as though youre turnin round.
And you search for something special
To sweep your feet, right off the ground.
She said, Remember me and how much I miss you,
And remember all those things we shared. Dont even try
And say its over. Itll never be so hold back those tears.
Another case of our bad timing. We should not have met.
At least not now. They it shouldnt but it matters, I wanted
To be with you, but how. . .
. . . When I see you in the corner, putting daisies in your hair,
Dancing round your bedroom picking out your favorite underwear
For him to come and take you like you never have before.
Im sorry I havent been that great.
You make me feel like a whore.
Go ahead now and walk all over me and dont listen to me,
Remember I dont have a clue.
Id do anything to start all over again
But dont listen to me honey
I guess thats the difference between me and you.
When I see you babe, you dont know how I feel
Just to know youll be there for me, oh baby
Look at him look at him I dont know where I should begin
Wipe your feet, come on in lets do it right now kiss me here!
If you say you love me I know that it would complete me
Restore my life and lead me to an ocean of feeling
Thatll always exist.
Purple by Jason Sultan-Khan
Razor blades in my eyes, sharpened by a rainy summer
Covered only by a garbage bag that suffocate, the flies that hum
A different sound when scents present, a taste to fill a hunger
But tastes a tease and teases poke and prod and tear and rape
An aggravations rage
The cheats and lies and drowns and hides
And drowns a love with, with purple skies.
To see you again. . .
Connections to the past, with hopes to resurrect a future
Skims across the waters edge, but sinks before it touches base again
She cried so many times and he thought he drank the tears
But instead a poison, trust, drunkened by My heart is yours
A teardrop soothes the burning
Soon to drown by bloated skies
Purple blades in ravaged eyes.
I see you call, I listened and I waited
I want it, I see it, I see you arise.
See me coming life is lonely, I am sick and tired of waiting
Around the bend around the thought
Around everything you said when I started
Im going. Im jaded. Everything around me has faded
Listen to me, listen to me. I have. I have. I have.
See me now, Im goin under
Listen now my shoulders purple
Im going. Im jaded. Im tired, Im frustrated.
But to see you again. . .
Ferriswheel by Jason Sultan-Khan
Reach into my cage and try to take away
The only thing that keeps me living
Tear away my comfort blanket
That warms my shoulder blades
That cut through burden
Rip into my dreams and haunt me
Like goblins do
Like winter water boiling
Spoiling slowly still
Moves me closer to, closer to
What is fresh, what is pure
It alone can endure
But then you touch me its over
My vision funneled in.
As I stare into space
It alone cant erase
Im on a ferriswheel.
Stroke my shady face and try
To make me stay
Complicate my living
Swear at me as I swear to you
That all Im doing and all I do
Is
Ripping into my dreams
And haunt me like goblins do
That Im on a ferriswheel.
You are flipping amazing
by Jason Sultan-Khan
You are flipping amazing, flipping amazing, flipping amazing
Dont want to share you with anybody else, anybody else, anybody
Want to keep you all to myself
You are exactly like they said you would be
Breath-taking __ Im gonna take it up one step
You are the closest to infinity that Ive ever been
And youve got me flipping out
You tell me to snap out of it
And check my ego at the door
Nobodys gonna come around-a-knockin
To hand deliver everything youve been looking for
Now Im sayin it you, goin out on a limb cuz I dont want to say that I
Could-a, would-a, should-a, Should-a but I didnt do it
Now its gone. . . . . .Now youre gone!
Syndication by Jason Sultan-Khan
My syndication, my jubilation
You say things wont matter much
If I cannot call, cant keep in touch
Until tomorrow, a bitter sorrow
A vision stained by cedar red
A misconceptions realm instead
I hear you knocking, Im sorry Im talking
You said I ditched you yesteryear
I didnt then but now I care
So dont surrender, dont try to cry.
Youve been forgotten and dejected
Above all youre disrespected. . . dont even try.
Confusions this way, I have so much to say
Its so hard. Ive been crushed by
The hand that I trusted
Visions of aisles spun around me and then
Sometimes whispers unwanting, and taunting but still.
My syndication, my minds elation
Ive resurrected from the past
This time Im gonna last
To see you tomorrow, a trust you cant borrow
You say therere demons in your head
Those pretty butterflies are dead.
Confusions this way
Its so far away
This time Im gonna
I have so much to say
Learn to Love by Jason Sultan-Khan
What will it take for you to see
That the consequences of the bruises
That you leave with me
Will be felt deeper than you will ever know
Lessons start with action of which
You put on quite a show
You gotta learn to
Learn to love
To learn to love
To love me
And not cuz I want you to
Learn to learn to love
To learn to learn to love
Because you want to
Do you take as much pleasure
Sucking the life out of me
As I do fucking the life out of you?
No longer will I fake what for you is thrill
In changing we find purpose.
In you I have found your thrill to kill.
For anyone whos ever or forever been lashed on
Take a stand without ever raising your hand
Raise your voice, not your hand
Rise up You are not alone.
I ntro by Jason Sultan-Khan
Listen to the canons call across the way
And the night it falls another
Sweet surrender no more.
Whisper into my ear the reason why
The candlelight must die
And you whisper and you hit the floor
And wait. . .
Scream for me one more time
And whisper in my ear the reason why
Everything ends the way it does tonight.
You Break Me by Jason Sultan-Khan
You. You break me
You break me like. . . like a tired lie
You break me like. . . a tired alibi
I dont want to live with you
You dont think that now is a good time
We got people coming over soon
And tomorrow doesnt seem to fit into your schedule.
Why does it always have to be on me
To raise a little hell?
This cant be healthy.
Dont you dare say you cant tell
And you dont notice the difference
And the distance that youve made
Between where we said we wanted to be
And where we are today.
You dont think a good time is ever.
Baby, aint that the truth.
A good time, like anything I do,
Is never good enough for you.
I dont want to live forever
But I dont want to live in pain
I dont want to go on not knowing
If you and I will ever see the same.
If you and I agree on nothing
Maybe its time that we do.
I dont think you want me to live with
And I dont want to live with you. X 3
Dont try to scream forgiveness
Or try to claim abuse.
The only thing I ever did
Was give my soul up for you to use
And twist to show how different
We are in truth and will
You are water and I am oil
And your storm has brought my blood to boil.
CHORUS
Bridge:
A wise man once told me
You cant expect to change people.
You cant expect to change their ways.
You can only hope to change you enough to fit
But still remain the same.
And if you feel that youve lost yourself
And your conviction is almost gone
Drop the baggage by the wayside
And carry on
Love for rent by Jason Sultan-Khan
Loving you is like paying rent
Ive nothing to show for all the money Ive spent
And when I think I could leave you at will
The memories we made - ch-ch-chill me
(She said) There is nothing you can say to change my mind
Ive got something that I need to do for me this time
But when I think I conquer the hill
The guilt trip memory lane k-k-kills me
I dont love you anymore thats a fact
I dont love you anymore this aint no act
I dont love you anymore your time is spent
Theres a sign in the window sayin, LOVE FOR RENT
Loving you is like playing stocks
No matter what anybody says, its never a lock
When I came home and a put in the key
The damn woman gone and change the locks on me
Loving you is like saying yes
To some kinda booze that ends you up in a dress
Blinded, drunk, and broke and stoned
And for the rest of your life being all alone
I tried to stand my ground but I pitched a tent
And she laughed til she cried, Oh Lord!, and it went
I O U Nothing by Jason Sultan-Khan
All you gotta do is give a little lovin
When Im in the mood for a little rubbin
And Ill do anything you need or want me to do.
But today theres somethin wrong with your face
And I dont like how your attitude tastes.
Can I buy a vowel please
To help me figure out what youre thinkin
I said, A or E? She said, Baby I I O U Nothing! x 2
She said,
I owe you nothing at all! x 3
Nothing at all! Nothing at all!
All I ever wanted was for you and me
To make love everyday and make lots-a-babies
With eyes of blue and eyes of brown.
But now u got me feelin all down
Like Im stuck in a game and spinnin my wheels
To try and figure out just how you feel.
Sometimes Y, she said, dont you want to cuddle up instead?
I said, Why sometimes you good all day then suddenly you got pain in your head?
Sometimes why, she said, you go forget to put down the toilet seat?
I said, Why? Because sometimes all I got on my mind is how to get rid of this heat!!!
