A sound artist, nature beatboxer, producer, DJ, performer and facilitator, Jason Singh’s areas of work all stem from a multi-sensory approach to sound and music.
And at the very heart of it, listening.
Jason’s ongoing exploration of nature, voice and technology, and collaborations with musicians, wildlife experts, visual artists, choreographers, non-human life forms all feed into a wide range of multi-faceted projects in the UK and internationally.
Commissions: Jason has been commissioned to create work using recordings of plants, trees, and in response to other creative and cultural contexts. He created the soundscape to the Victoria & Albert’s The Fabric of India. For Yorkshire Sculpture Park a 5-day residency culminated in Sound Wave Collider and a 4 hour family rave.

One of the frontrunners in creating music from plants, Jason is a leading creative in this fascinating field, making music in collaboration with plants, trees as well as the creatures that live within the ecosystem. For IF Milton Keynes, The Place Between, Jason created a soundscape in response to the exhibition by Rebecca Louise Law.
DJ’ing since 1988, Jason’s wide breadth of music encompasses underground dance music cultures from around the world with a deep focus on groove based genres.
His sets include ritual based rhythms and plant derived soundscapes, to heavyweight DJ sets incorporating live beatboxing and vocal sound design.
As an innovator and talented communicator, Jason is regularly invited to sit on panels, and present talks for a range of organisations and sectors in areas including voice, music technology, collaboration, cross-species collaboration, improvisation, inclusivity and access.
Jason is a gifted facilitator with a natural connection to young people. Outreach and community engagement has been a constant throughout his career, with workshops on beatboxing, sound design / production, and field recording, plus CPD for teachers and education professionals.
