About Us:
Jon (Lase) was born July 11, 1975 in
niagara falls,ny. At 8yrs. old Jon
found his interest in music after
watching a video on MTV feat: Run DMC
& AeroSmith (Walk this way) and
requested for his parents to buy RUN
DMC's album.From that day forward he
got interested in other artists for
example, Michael Jackson, GrandMaster
Flash, Fat Boys, Big Daddy Kane, Mc
Hammer, Getto Boys, Ice T, N.W.A, Slum
Village, Ghetto Mafia. Rap music has
been a part of his life for a very
long time. As Jon got into his teens,
he started getting into drums, guitar,
singing & writing lyrics for songs. At
the age of 19, Jon started a rock
group called the Way Wood Youths. The
group had their first television debut
with Lou Paonessa for the Niagara
Falls Firefighter Toy Fund December
7th,1996 and blew up the spot. The
group continued to do shows at places
such as The Fun House 1830 Abbott Road
in Cheektawaga, NY, The Showplace
Theatre 1063 Grant St. in Buffalo, NY
& at The Evening Star on Niagara Falls
Blvd in Niagara Falls. In 1998 the
group had changed a couple of members
and then changed the group name which
formed Sylph, a heavy metal rock band.
Sylph was unstoppable, and at some
points unstable. Sylph was successful
and even achieved a record deal with
Immortal Records, but never got to
sign the contract. When Jon returned
home from Santa Monica, CA, the group
had a huge fallout and broke up. This
was a huge disappointment for Jon so
he decided to quit music all together,
out of fear he would never sign or
even touch another record contract
again. Luckily, Jon's love for music
made him see that things happen for a
reason.
