Jared Stinson

Jared Stinson is a failed musician. Well, in the sense that MTV and TMZ are the barometers by which success is measured.

Jared first discovered music as a child who hated music. Piano lessons and children’s choir were a weekly death sentence. But as life got more and more hectic and people came and went, music became the one constant. Soon the waking hours were consumed with playing in and building bands.

Through his adolescence and into his adulthood, Jared devoted all efforts and resources to the band and its business. He brokered cooperative agreements between his own as well as other bands and various different brands, helped found a rehearsal and recording center in north San Diego, CA, toured the United States living off the band, started and ran various other businesses in order to finance the bands, all while earning a bachelor's degree from CSU Long Beach in Interdisciplinary Studies of Music, Business and Marketing.

Currently, Jared plays in his band and feeds a drinking habit in Southern California or in a van or bus somewhere else. He also reads a lot and listens to more than his share of music. So someone's ears somewhere are suffering one way or another...
