Jason Mraz Research

I have chosen to do some research on an artist similar to Joe Brooks, his name is Jason Mraz and is a very successful soul singer with top singles in the charts.

Research into Jason Mraz

After looking at Jason Mraz CD cover and Website you can see that he has carried the theme on both with the man sketched on with a trilby hat on. Also the links down the left hand side of his website to navigate to the other pages are in the same font as the writing on his album. At the bottom left of the page you can see it says voice, music, silence, you can select any of these which you prefer. If you select his voice, he talks to you about the site and the mouth on the sketched person moves to the words. His type of music is rock and soul and aimed at teenagers and over as it’s not really quick and dance music.

As you can see the theme carries on within the site, from page to page. On each page he has different sketched drawings to symbolize what you are looking at, this site is very creative and has used many technologies to make it as it is.

Career

Mraz the singer-songwriter combines a smooth voice, meaningful lyrics, and a little hip-hop twist in his singing style. Although he got his start singing in coffeehouses, he has since performed at classical venues and on the PBS network, as well as in popular concert halls.

Mraz's international breakthrough came with the release of lead single from We Sing. We Dance We Steal Things. titled "I’m Yours”. The single peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Mraz his first top ten single. The song was a huge commercial success in the US with it receiving a triple-Platinum certification from the RIAA for sales of over three million. The song was successful internationally and topped the charts in New Zealand and Norway, peaking in the top ten of multiple international charts.
