Hello. My name is Jason Sposa. I am 28 years old. I live + work in the greater New York City area. I am married to the prettiest girl in the world + we have a beautiful little girl named Olivia Bee. For the past 10 years, I have been making music under various monikers, disguising myself behind a catchy name or phrase that made me, well,
me.

In the summer of 2007, I discovered that my wife + I were going to be parents. Preparing for the newest addition to my family, I understood that I would have to compromise a lot of the things I love to do. With nine months to rest indoors + brace myself for the biggest adventure of my life; I was certain of one thing: I wanted to write a record for my daughter + I wanted to write it without a catchy phrase or band name to hide behind.

Armed with a handful of vintage keyboards + a mission from the heart, I proudly present to you THE OLIVIA EP. The principle: keep the music simple. They are songs which I imagine she listens to on the school bus or rediscover, one lonesome day, tucked deeply amidst other knick-knacks in a trunk while feeling homesick. I hope that when she hears my words to her that they will soothe her after her first broken heart or remember that she is special on one of those good-for-nothing afternoons, or, perhaps, with my heart’s content, she will truly understand how much I love her and am proud of her as she plays it for her own children.

Nonetheless, thank you; and, I hope you enjoy listening.

The record is dedicated to Olivia Bee Sposa.
Your mother and I are already so proud of you.
