Chicago is well known for being a hotbed of developing talent and famous for its nightlife. Having this surrounding you can be a big influence on the path you take in life. And so it was with Jason as he started making music at the age of eight. As the years passed and Brown learned his craft he became a teenager, and at the age of 15 moved to Minnesota, where he presently resides. As Fats continued to create his own music, by the age of 21 he decided to start the Minnesota based independent label We On Records. This would spur on Minnesota Fats to record a string of successful releases. We On Records first release was in 2002, titled Nation Business, it was Minnesota Fats and Famis the High Life Man’s first duo venture, and it was well received. Album’s to follow were We On Mix-tape Vol. 1 (2004), Natra’s Citiology (2005), Desi’s Baler Street Journal (2005), and the newest solo venture and We On’s latest release, State Rehab (2006). We On Records has sold over 20,000 albums to date. A good start for indie label indeed. The importance of education and understanding his business became a priority and Jason Brown recently graduated with an Associates Degree in Music Business from Minnesota School of Business in 2006, and he has hopes to go national in the first quarter of 2007. The We On label is currently doing shows every month around the twin cities in support of their artists. They have done shows in many other states as well including, Chicago, Illinois, New York, and Michigan. Minnesota is the home of the label but they understand that you need to spread your wings and reach out on more national level if getting the music the exposure it deserves and selling your catalog is a priority. The different venues the label has included as homes for their artists are First Avenue, The Quest, Club Myth, and Escape Ultra Lounge. In 2004, We On Records landed a first place position at the American Music Search (AMS) conference in Chicago. Since then they have maintained healthy relationships with many industry executives. Jason hopes to lead a musical revolution blending heavy hip-hop bass and rock and roll guitars with his own music and by influencing others that become part of his vision. The plan is to bring their music to the masses and provide like-minded artists an opportunity to distribute their music with a label run by an indie artist. For an artist looking for someone to entrust his or her music to, it does not get any better than that. Contact 952-233-3632, [email protected] Minnesota Fats Contact 952-233-3632, [email protected]
