  • Jason Morphew is a musician who started his career in the late 1990s. Morphew's songwriting evolved from his attempts at poetry, started while he was attending the University of Arkansas and Yale University. He came to the attention of Capitol Records and Sony Music Publishing and to the director Bob Gosse, who co-founded the highly successful film production company The Shooting Gallery. A demo deal with Capitol fell through when the representative who brokered the deal was fired, but the demo that Capitol passed on provided the impetus for Sony to sign Jason in late 1998. Since then, Morphew has resided in Los Angeles, California, releasing three acclaimed albums on the Ba Da Bing! label and placing songs in several films, including Gosse's Niagara, Niagara. A fourth album was slated for release in September 2005, around the time when Morphew's first film score was scheduled to appear in Tim McCann's Runaway. Notable artists who have appeared on Morphew's albums include Claudia Gonson from The Magnetic Fields, Jason White from the Green Day circle, Matt Snow, Andrew Park and Josh Gennet from Holiday, Josh Schwartz of The Beachwood Sparks, and Ikey Owens of Mars Volta. According to his MySpace, Morphew's newest album, Vaporizer, was released in May 2008. His album, Holding Merle Haggard was re-released in 2007. He is currently a Graduate Student at the University of California, Davis and teaches short fiction and creative writing classes.
