Jason Sweeney

Musician/Composer/Filmmaker

The power of music as a transcendental and transformative tool for change is so evident in spaces of protest, in times of struggle, when people come together and sing, whether it’s in families, in crisis, in grief. To celebrate life.

When I think of music as my main vocation in life, it’s so powerful because it transcends language. We can be completely moved, well beyond literal understanding.

I’ve also believed strongly in the power of quiet and the power of the introvert in our society. We are surrounded by the loudest voices, the biggest opinions and noisy egos. I am more interested in how the quiet can achieve great things with small acts, at a low volume.
