Jason Collett

About

The artist

Jason Collett is a singer-songwriter based in Toronto, Ontario. His solo catalog began with Motor Motel Love Songs in 2003 and grew alongside the Toronto community connected with Broken Social Scene and Arts & Crafts. Collett's songs draw from indie folk, alternative country, and guitar pop, using an understated vocal delivery to frame neighbourhood details, social change, relationships, and political unease. Idols of Exile broadened his collaborative circle in 2005, while Here's to Being Here and Rat A Tat Tat developed a fuller band sound. Reckon brought economic and political questions closer to the centre of his writing, and Song And Dance Man balanced those observations with looser rhythm and humour. Head Full Of Wonder followed in 2022 with a more intimate set of songs recorded in Toronto with producer Marcus Paquin and musicians including Liam O'Neill, Joe Grass, and Mike O'Brien. The exact Spotify identity contains 17 distinct primary album and single containers from May 2003 through November 2022: eight provider-classified albums and nine singles. His artist-controlled Bandcamp currently identifies Toronto, Ontario, and his official site presents the same Toronto-rooted career. Arts & Crafts continues to list Collett on both its artist and management rosters, confirming his current professional relationship with the label and team. Rat A Tat Tat was named to the 2010 Polaris Music Prize Long List.
