Jason Mark Yates Blog.

“UK Songwriting Contest Finalist Jason Mark Yates isn’t your typical singer/songwriter. The Adult Contemporary artist is making a name for himself with his soothing vocals and trademark acoustic arrangements. His song “Reachin’ Out” impressed the judges enough to make him a finalist in the 2013 Songwriting Contest held in the U.K. His sound is smooth with a slight melancholy vibe with a little bit of a jazz underlying. His music could sit easily at home on the big screen as in intimate venues or just chillin’ at home. He’s also teamed up with songwriter Darcy Jeavons and the two have enjoyed the success of being a Semi-Finalist as duo Yates & Jeavons.” - Skope, Skopemag (Nov 26, 2013)
