Jason Whitehorn (born January 19, 1976) is an American Contemporary worship music singer-songwriter. Jason has been writing, performing and releasing both country and worship music for over a decade since his career began in early 2000. He is originally from just outside Savannah, Tennessee[1] where he and Darryl Worley attended high school.[2][3] He has performed with Darryl Worley, Thrasher Shiver, Bryan White, David Allan Coe and has collaborated with others.[4]
Jason is currently the worship pastor at New Hope Church in Williston, ND, writer for Worship Leader Magazine, World Vision touring artist, and national worship conference speaker.
Career
Whitehorn began his professional career while managing and playing lead guitar for Shane Avery. Soon after September 11th, he and Avery co-wrote "Song of America" and released the song to radio stations and select retailers in order to raise money for the families of fallen fire and police officers of New York City.[5] Soon after Jason departed from the relationship managing Avery, he began a solo career of his own.[6] He wrote "Knock, Knock" and "Prisoner of My Mind".
Music
Whitehorn's music has always been rooted deeply in country, but in mid-2008, he began developing himself as a contemporary Christian artist and departing from some of the more traditional "pop-style" country that his fans had been more accustomed to. Now, Jason is concentrating more on honing his skills as a songwriter instead of being merely an entertainer.
Personal
Jason lives just outside Nashville, Tennessee with his wife and two children. [7]
