Meet the Band

Originally hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Jason “Buddy” found his musical calling at the tender age of 14. Now based in Orlando, Florida, he channels his southern roots into soul-stirring performances. With lyrics that echo raw emotion and vocals drenched in grit, Jason crafts songs that resonate deeply with audiences, touching hearts and inspiring souls wherever his music is heard.

Starting his early music exploration on bass guitar 26 years ago in the suburbs of Los Angeles California, Jason eventually found his way to what would become his true passion, the drums. Although he still picks up a bass on occasion, Jason has performed and recorded on drums in many bands throughout the years. He brings his groove oriented approach on the drums to The Blueprints.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Jorge grew up surrounded music of all kinds. In childhood, his parents exposed him to salsa, merengue, mariachi, cumbia, and other styles Latin-American music. The sounds of the neighborhood were a tremendous influence on The Professor with a range of styles including hip hop, freestyle, reggae, dancehall, bachata, R&B, and soul music. The influence of rock music has been ever present, from his dad’s record collection that included The Beatles, The Doors, and The Who, to his own CD collection that included Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots and Deftones. When he’s not playing bass in The Blueprints, The Professor is a professor of psychology and a mental health therapist. To Jorge, what is best about bass is that we feel it more than we hear it.
