Kiwi Jayson's voice is at once rich and earthy, a heady blend of soul, roots and rock. Which is no surprise, considering he's been influenced by everyone from Ben Harper to Stevie Wonder to Bob Marley. That said; you'll also hear Jayson's South Pacific heritage throughout his music and lyrics.

Since landing in the UK in 2004, Jayson's epic live shows have seen him share stages with Andrea Bocelli, INXS, Shihad, Blue King Brown, The Blackseeds, Pete Murray and Dave Dobbyn to name just a few.

His latest album 'Freedom 28' is a rare blend of smooth sounds, challenging subject matter and diverse genres - capturing the soul and raw emotion of his live show. Indeed, Jayson's first single 'Freedom to Live' is a personal tribute to his late grandfather Charlie Norris who was in the 7th Reinforcement, a company of the 28th Maori Battalion.
