Based in London, Jason Charles-Nelson is a renowned pianist, composer and musical director with a taste for virtuosic flair. He is an experienced music tutor with a BA (Hons) from Brunel University - where he majored studying a number of key concepts concerning professional music performance, analytical study, and principles of music composition.
An established creative professional today, Jason leads the music direction for the successful theatre production, Oliva Tweest (2014-present), along with the dynamic, London-based gospel choir, Insignia. His work has also been commissioned in the short film industry, having penned the score for Mistaken [2015}, a Peter Martin Films production, along with a number of community based projects that tackle issues such as domestic violence. He has written and produced material for the likes of 2008 'The X Factor' winner Alexandra Burke and MOBO Award-winning singer-songwriter, Rachel Kerr.
Compositionally, Jason's style can be described as intuitively reasoned in approach, yet profoundly resonant in the message it conveys to the listener. In his works, he hones in on the subtleties of dynamic and harmonic variation, using them in tandem to produce a strikingly vivid palette of sonic colours. His personal touch also shines through in his methods of direction and tuition, having gained vast experience working with students and practioners of all ages both across the educational system and within the domain of professional performance.
