She even had produced her own vocal what’s rare for most vocalist she as a matter of fact I wasn’t even in the studio when she recorded it she’s very independent what’s a great plus point because that way she can edit her vocal the way she wants to have it. It is also very efficient.
Q: What are your musical influences?
JASON: Honestly I don’t listen to electronic music besides for getting a show will look up new records. Most of the time I listen to Johnny cash type of music. But if I think about electronic music diplo marshmello dj snake and Skrillex would be the most influential example for me

Q: Can you tell us more about VC Record?
JASON: This label started because I wanted to honor my late grandfather therefore I named it with his initials.

And with having my own label I can do whatever I want to do like my name says Jason McKenzy a EDM outlaw.
