Jason was born on May 17, 1978 to Mike & Teresa Dension
in Memphis, TN. He was born into a legacy of Grace and Godliness. Jason's parents
were both committed to the Lord when he was born and both come from families that
not only believe on the Lord Jesus Christ but serve Him daily. Jason's parents, Mike
& Teresa, are baptist missionaries to Mexico where Jason grew up most of his
teen years, learning and watching his parents sacrifice and serve the Lord with great
diligence. Jason is the oldest of three children, his brother Jeremy and sister Jessica,
also grew up in Mexico and have a great desire to do more than people who know and
believe on God, but who seek Him daily and serve Him with all of their being.
Jason is very active in his local church. He just wrapped up
a year and half ministry at a local inner-city ministry, New Life Baptist Church,
in Memphis, where he assisted the Youth Pastor and Teens, Directed the Choir, was
song director, sound and technical lead, as well as organizing each service and making
sure everything was carried out as planned. He also taught Sunday School occasionally
and the Wednesday night Teen Rally's, as well as actively participated in the Evangelism
programs at the church. Last but not least, Jason, using his most notable skill,
built and maintained the church website which allowed members to view the church
calendar, birthdays, events, and also gave them a place to view photos, get daily
devotionals, search the scriptures, and much more.
Jason began to love music and singing at an early age of 6 years
old. His favorite past times were singing with his favorite singers and putting on
"pretend" concerts. It has been a passion of his ever since and finally
at the age of 26 he has been able to see a huge step toward that dream with this
first recording, Demonstration. For many years as Jason struggled, as most teens
do, about what he believed and what his purpose and focus in life
would be, Jason
wanted to be a famous singer, with money, wealth, and the lights that the Devil seem
to lure him with. But after many trials and always coming back to what his parents
taught him, He began to have and seek and desire a one-on-one relationship with the
God who created all things. "I remember realizing that I could never truly be happy, full of joy, and have
any real meaning in my life, unless I was totally sold out to Christ and right in
the center of His Will, no matter what that was." - Jason
As Jason continues to seek after Christ and after what
he feels God has created him for, he will remember that above all, God is the only
one that can bring anything good out of the flesh and his main goal in life is to
continue to grow in Christ, building that relationship with Him and seeking Him first
above everything else. With this in mind and as you become more aquatinted with Jason
you can see that it's more than music, singing, and words... It's a ministry, a heart
beat that he yearns for. "I want to reveal God's Grace to the broken hearted Christian,
to shine the light in their despair... I want to reflect the Son of Man and glorify
Him and everything I do to testify of His love and abundant grace. To offer hope
to the hopeless, to encourage the weary ,and to strengthen the weak. If we all can
just keep our eyes on Heaven, then we can fight as one and win more people to Christ"
- Jason
