As a singer-songwriter and performer, Jason Consolacion was a regular in the New York City music scene until he lost his eyesight in 2019. Although this has been a huge challenge, in 2023 he released his first project as a blind musician, the R&B concept album New Addition, embarking on the next chapter of his career.

Jason’s style of rock incorporates a number of elements, including folk, jazz, blues and (shamelessly) ‘90s R&B.

A graduate of Houston's nationally-renowned High School For The Performing and Visual Arts, and always dedicated to being a student of all types of music, Jason has used his knowledge of various styles to incorporate a concoction that has been described as "a bridge between Paul Simon and Stevie Wonder."

Jason's musical influences cover a large variety of personalities, including the aforementioned Paul Simon and Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Eric Clapton, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Joni Mitchell, Elvis Presley, Elton John, The Police, and his mother, a former concert pianist.

Jason has played at such venues as Rockwood Music Hall, The Bitter End, The Knitting Factory, The Cutting Room, Arlene's Grocery, Pianos, Nuyorican Poets Cafe, Cornelia Street Cafe, Caffe Vivaldi, and Cherry Lane Theatre in New York City; Genghis Cohen's in Los Angeles; Middle East, The Burren, The Asgard, and Skybar in Boston; and Ovations Jazz Club, Anderson Fair, Main Street Crossing, McGonigel's Mucky Duck and The Artery in Houston. Jason has also performed at the South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin, TX, in 2005, 2009, 2010 and 2013.

Jason's discography includes the Uncertain Air EP (2003), Everything's OK (2004), Acoustic Boogaloo (2005), The Pool Table Matter EP (2006), November Sessions (2012),  Streaming the Mains (2012), the Jason Consolacion EP (2014), and New Addition (2023) all of which are available on Apple Music.

The 2014 self-titled EP, along with the tracks "Bundle of You", "Alone Again" and "Hold On To Me", produced by MD Thompson for Ivory Tower Realizations, were accepted by the Recording Academy for Grammy consideration in 2015.

Jason is also one-half of an acoustic folk-pop duo called FAKIN' IT, in which he plays guitar and sings alongside jazz vocalist Zack Foley. In addition to their original compositions, they double as a Simon & Garfunkel tribute group. The duo released its self-titled debut EP in 2013, also available on Apple Music.

In 2014, Jason signed on with the artist development firm Big Noise Now. See Jason's Artist Page here. From 2017 to 2019, Jason was featured as an Artist in Residence at New York City's legendary Lower East Side club Arlene's Grocery.

"Jason Consolacion is one of the new breed of young, sharp, and incredibly talented singer-songwriters that lets me know the future of music and songwriting in this country is in good hands - I mean in really good hands. (He's) making audiences sit up and listen to his songs with craft and spirit way beyond his years. He's a fine player with great chops and a real knowledge of music and what it takes to craft a song. He's also a blast on stage." - Ken Gaines, Houston Association of Acoustic Musicians

"Jason has a voice that women love and men wish they had. His latest album has love songs that will make you want to hold the one you love. What a voice! Get his CD today and you'll be humming his songs all day tomorrow. So hug the next person you see and tell them 'Everything's OK.'" - Rachel Blomstrom, Music News, review of the Everything's OK album
