Named "Chicago's Future Superstar" by Nick Cannon, Jason Ivy is an acclaimed singer-songwriter, SAG-AFTRA actor, and internationally recognized filmmaker from the south side. Features in PBS, SELF Magazine, and GQ chronicle Jason's artistic contributions to Chicago's social infrastructure as a true performer in every sense. Jason has shared the stage with acts like Jennifer Hudson and Kanye West, and gained a world of experience as a member of a Grammy Award-winning choir, an Ivy League A cappella group, and a national DJ collective. Jason embodies the art of subtle sophistication, touting an academic background in Cognitive Neuroscience and Linguistics from the University of Pennsylvania after starting there at the age of 16. Jason's musical work has been collectively described as "an effervescent wave" of "sonic fire with a chill flame" that represents "the balance between vintage soul and today’s modern approach to R&B" (Odd Nugget, Music and Fashion Blog). Jason's artist persona has been deemed the "otherworldly, ethereal, and larger-than-life" "voice of our city" who uses "the universal language of music" "to provide a message" (Alchemical Records, PBS, Meta, WCIU). Jason was named a 2023 Chicago Artist to Watch by What's the Word TV after the single "Divided" hit the charts in 12 countries and radio stations from Chicago to Greece.
