Jason Forrest is an electronic musician working in a variety of forms. His sample-based music has been a pioneering force in the experimental music community, and he has been credited as being a pioneer in the emergence of the Breakcore genre.

Currently he has 3 active musical projects. As "Jason Forrest" he continues his sample-pop music and is in the final process of completing his 5th full-length album to be called "Friday Night's Alright." It's a light-hearted party-album continuing in the vein of his critically acclaimed album "Shamelessly Exciting". More news on this as plans are confirmed.

With "The Jason Forrest Band" he joins Ethan Shaffner and Elisabeth King to form a post-funk/hiphop-prog rock power trio. They have been touring a lot, and are now working on new material for their debut recording.

After ripping up a bunch of parties and mini-Dj sets @ Wasted (more on this below) Forrest brought back the time-tested "DJ Donna Summer" moniker. With this hat on, he focuses on party music of all types.
