Jason Kerrison is a multi-platinum, multi-award winning singer-songwriter, producer, meditator, planetarian and wannabe surfer. Born in the South Island and now living in Northland, after many years writing and touring with OpShop and the Babysitter’s Circus, Jason has ‘come home’ to live in the beautiful hills and bush of the north. He continues to write, record and perform, in between fencing and building projects!
In 2011, JK was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM) in the Queen's Birthday Honours, for Services to Music. After the first major earthquake in Canterbury in 2010, Jason worked with Paul Ellis to create the Band Together concert in Hagley Park , Christchurch, to raise spirits in his hometown. It drew 100,000 people and was streamed live on TV. He appeared on the “Team Ball Player Thing” single that raised money for Cure Kids (in 2015) and had high-profile roles on TV as a judge on New Zealand’s Got Talent (2012) and X Factor (2015).
Whether performing solo with his guitar and a loop station, as a duo or with his band ‘The Golden Girls’ Jason is able to reach out to each member of the audience and take them on an extraordinary musical journey. His heartfelt love songs makes even hardened cynics swoon just a little, while the huge Opshop and Babysitters Circus tunes literally have them running up the aisles to the dance floor.
