Jason Mraz is an American singer-songwriter whose music has been impacting people across the world since his first album release in 2002. Getting his start in a California coffee shop, Jason’s primary goal in life has been to spread positive vibes throughout his journey in life. Though Jason has now entered his early forties he is still considered to be one of the top young artists of the early 2010’s. Jason’s second album “The Remedy” released in 2005, peaked at number 5 on the Billboard 200 and sold over 100,000 copies in the US. His succeeding two albums reached numbers 2 and 3 on the Billboard 200 with continued success. Through his unique style of pop and funk, his songs such as “Lucky” and “I’m Yours” are loved and can be recognized all over the world today.
In addition to his success in the music industry, Jason has since started “The Mraz Family Farms” where he raises organic avocados. Being an avid coffee drinker and connoisseur, the farm has partnered with Frinj Coffee as he also grows his own coffee. Following his passions and businesses of musician and gentlemen farmer, Jason considers himself as a committed global citizen. He has started his own Jason Mraz foundation which serves to shine as arts education, and the advancement of equality.
Jason’s entrepreneurial efforts have impacted people of diverse interests and backgrounds. His success has granted him 2 Grammy Awards, 2 Teen Choice Awards, a People’s Choice Award, and the Hal David Songwriter’s Hall of Fame Award. In 2017 Jason also played the leading male role in the musical “Waitress” on Broadway. Today, Jason continues to share his newest music creations on his 2018-2019 ‘Good Vibes’ Tours as he works to impact lives through spreading love.
It is very cool that he started in a coffee shop out in California and desires to impact people with his music. I think being considered a young artist at the age of 40 is a powerful testament to how successful his music is. The amount of awards he has gained is also super cool. I personally have not heard his music but this article was very informative and I appreciate the new knowledge that I have gained from it.
I knew of Jason Mraz from his song “I’m Yours”, but I had no idea he was involved in so much more! Organic avocados and coffee definitely weren’t something I associated with a musician, but it’s fascinating to know this aspect of his life. I’ll never think of him the same when I hear his songs.
As someone who’s likes a lot of his songs, I didn’t know much about Maraz’s background. I’m impressed at how innovative he’s been over the years, with growing his own coffee and avacados, acting in a musical and starting his own foundation. It’s great that he’s using his fame to create an impact and to spread positive messages.
I’ve always enjoyed Jason Mraz’s music and it makes sense that his mission is to spread positive vibes with it because it certainly does. I love how he started a farm and especially that it it’s with organic avocados.
