""The singing, musicianship and production on "est. 1980" are very good. Jody's writing style reminds me of David Lowery from Cracker/Camper Van Beethoven, and also of Ben Folds...I am enjoying it a lot." (2005)
Quote by Shawn Mullins"
Jody Aaron is a Southern-Bred Soulful Singer-Songwriter with convoluted Acoustic Guitar stylings and a contemporary flair for melodic tunes. Few artists can take rock, alternative, and pop and mix them all into a new sound, but Jody Aaron does it well.
Raised along white sands of Clearwater, FL, Jody's natural surroundings helped shape his relaxed, honest sound. His youth group songleading skills along with his father's taste in music led Jody to emulate musicians like Harry Chapin, Sarah Mclachlan, and Dave Matthews to name a few. Jody has licensed music for CNN's Nancy Grace, and has been seen and heard at venues across the U.S. Massive Internet exposure has helped him gain fans worldwide. In 2003, Jody's distinct sound won him first place in CNN's Intn'l Talent Search and the following year, he was brought in as the opening act. In 2004, he was a finalist in VH-1's Intn'l "Song of the Year" Competition. 2004 brought more success as Jody's song; "All I Wanted" was chosen as Song of the Day on Garageband.com. Jody's release, est. 1980, is receiving int'l airplay. Jody's is currently writing the score for an indie film, "Bloodshot".
Jodys songs evoke universal emotions of love, hate, hurt, loneliness, and self-struggle while addressing todays world issues.
Jody has taken his folk roots, and his love for Pop melodies, and Alternative music, and created his own unique sound which he self-brands as Pop-Rock for your Soul.
Jody has lived and gigged around NYC for the past two years, playing 20+ live shows a year, and is now making the move to Southern California to explore new opportunity out west.
