Jason Mraz

Singer-songwriter Jason Mraz made a big showing straight out of the gate with his platinum-selling major-label debut, WAITING FOR MY ROCKET TO COME, in 2002. His mix of pop melodies, funky grooves, and organic, often acoustic-based production earned him immediate comparisons to the likes of John Mayer and the Dave Matthews Band. Over the next few years, Mraz's subsequent albums attained increasingly higher levels of popularity for the singer, and by 2007 his songs had already become AMERICAN IDOL fodder.
