Today we’d like to introduce you to Jason Damico.
Hi Jason, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My journey into the entertainment industry started at a very young age. I began as a baby model, which eventually led to opportunities in commercials, television, and film. Looking back on it now, those early experiences introduced me to the world of performance and storytelling long before I fully understood where the road would lead.
As I got older, music became a central part of my life. I picked up the drums and later guitar, and what began as a hobby quickly turned into an obsession. I spent countless hours learning songs, playing in bands, writing original material, and performing anywhere I could. Over time, that passion evolved into a professional career as a recording artist, songwriter, producer, and live performer. Along the way, I built a recording studio, launched New Blue Entertainment, and had the opportunity to collaborate with incredible musicians, perform throughout the country, and release music that continues to connect with listeners around the world.
Like most creative careers, the path has been anything but linear. There have been exciting highs, difficult setbacks, and plenty of moments where adaptation was necessary. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that creative careers are often built through evolution rather than a single breakthrough. In recent years, that evolution has included expanding into content creation and live streaming, which opened up entirely new ways to connect with audiences. What started as an experiment eventually grew into a significant part of both my creative and business life.
Today, I continue to work across multiple disciplines as a musician, producer, actor, and entrepreneur. While the platforms, technology, and opportunities have changed dramatically since I first started, the core motivation remains the same: creating meaningful work, telling compelling stories, and building genuine connections with people through music, performance, and content. In many ways, I feel like the journey is still just getting started, and that’s what makes it exciting.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I don’t think any creative career is ever a completely smooth road, and mine has certainly had its share of challenges. One of the biggest realities of working in the arts is that there isn’t always a clearly defined path. Unlike more traditional professions, there isn’t a roadmap that guarantees success if you simply check the right boxes. A lot of the journey involves experimentation, uncertainty, and learning to navigate periods where the results don’t immediately match the effort being invested.
Financially, there have been seasons where resources were limited and every dollar had to be carefully reinvested back into the business. Creatively, there have been projects that didn’t achieve the outcome I had hoped for despite significant time and energy. There have also been moments where industries shifted, technology changed, or platforms evolved, forcing me to adapt and rethink my approach. What worked five years ago often doesn’t work today, and staying relevant requires a willingness to continuously learn.
One challenge that isn’t talked about enough is balancing the artistic side with the business side. Most creatives get into their craft because they love creating, but eventually you realize you’re also running a business. You’re managing marketing, finances, branding, contracts, networking, and countless other responsibilities that exist outside the creative process itself. Learning to embrace both sides of that equation was a major step in my growth.
Looking back, however, many of the setbacks ended up becoming opportunities in disguise. Some of the projects that didn’t work taught me lessons that directly contributed to later successes. Some of the doors that closed forced me to explore new avenues I may not have considered otherwise. More recently, opportunities in social media and live streaming emerged from a willingness to experiment and adapt rather than stay attached to a single path. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that resilience and flexibility are just as important as talent. The people who last are often the ones who are willing to keep evolving.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
At its core, my work revolves around entertainment, storytelling, and audience connection. Today, I wear several hats as a musician, producer, actor, content creator, and business owner. Through New Blue Entertainment, I develop and produce creative projects across multiple platforms, whether that’s recording and releasing original music, performing live, producing content, collaborating with other artists, or pursuing opportunities in film and television.
Musically, I primarily operate in the blues-rock space, drawing influence from artists who combine strong musicianship with memorable songwriting and authentic performance. As a touring artist, I’ve had the opportunity to perform for audiences in a variety of markets, which has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career. Over the years, I’ve worked alongside some incredible musicians and released music that has reached audiences well beyond my local area. At the same time, I’ve continued to expand into digital media and live streaming, which has created an entirely new way to engage with people in real time.
What I’m probably becoming most known for recently is the combination of music, personality-driven content, and live interaction. Whether it’s performing on tour, creating comedic short-form videos, experimenting with impersonations, or hosting live streams, I’ve found that audiences connect most strongly when they get to see the human side of the creative process. Some of the social media content that has gained traction over the past couple of years has come from simply leaning into that side of myself and not being afraid to share it.
What I’m most proud of isn’t any single award, stream count, or viral moment. It’s the fact that I’ve been able to build a sustainable creative career while continuing to evolve. I’ve had the opportunity to work in multiple areas of the entertainment industry, and each chapter has taught me something valuable. Rather than being defined by one platform, one project, or one role, I’ve been able to continually adapt while staying true to who I am as a creator.
I think what sets me apart is that combination of versatility and long-term perspective. I’ve spent time on stage as a touring performer, in the recording studio, in front of the camera, behind the scenes producing projects, and building the business side of the operation. Those experiences give me a broader perspective than any one discipline alone. More importantly, I genuinely enjoy the process of learning and evolving. The industry changes constantly, and I’ve found that staying curious and adaptable has been one of the greatest assets in building a career that continues to grow and open new doors.
Is there something surprising that you feel even people who know you might not know about?
One thing that tends to surprise people is that I can do a pretty wide range of celebrity and character impersonations. Over the years, I’ve developed somewhere in the neighborhood of 60 to 70 different voices. Some are definitely stronger than others, but it’s become a surprisingly useful and entertaining skill that I never really set out to develop professionally.
For most of my career, that side of my personality stayed largely behind the scenes. Friends and family knew about it, but it wasn’t something I incorporated into my public-facing work very often. More recently, however, I’ve started bringing some of those impersonations into my content creation, and it’s been fascinating to see how audiences respond. Some of the videos that have generated the most engagement and reach have come from simply leaning into that creative and comedic side of myself.
I think the bigger lesson there is that sometimes the things that make us unique are the very things we hesitate to share. For years, I viewed music, acting, and comedy as separate lanes. What I’ve discovered is that audiences often connect most strongly when they get to see the full picture rather than just one piece of it. The willingness to embrace that has opened doors creatively that I never expected.
So while many people know me as a musician, producer, or actor, they may not realize there’s also a part of me that enjoys studying voices, characters, timing, and performance from a comedic perspective. Ironically, something that started as a hobby has ended up becoming one of the more unexpected and rewarding parts of my creative journey.
