==Early life==
Collett was born in [[Bramalea, Ontario]], a [[Greater Toronto Area]] suburb. He began writing songs at a young age to escape the boredom of his suburban life, and cites [[Bob Dylan]], [[Kris Kristofferson]] and [[Nick Lowe]] as influences. Eventually, Collett moved to downtown Toronto where he worked as a woodworker and carpenter, doing renovations and custom home building, while he pursued his music. In the late 1980s, Collett co-founded the band [[Lazy Grace]] with [[Kathryn Rose]] and [[Kersti McLeod]], performing every Monday at Toronto’s [[Spadina Hotel]] at the popular indie music gathering, Radio Mondays,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/4258659-Lazy-Grace-2|title=Lazy Grace (2)}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.empressmusicgroup.com/kathryn-rose|title = Kathryn Rose}}</ref> alongside [[The Weakerthans]] and artists on the record label [[Arts & Crafts (record label)|Arts & Crafts]], who would perform and write songs together. Collett has mentioned how Radio Mondays were great community-building events, with five or six artists on stage at a time. Around 2000, he was a part of the short-lived [[alternative country]] group Bird, of which [[Andrew Cash]] and [[Hawksley Workman]] were also members. Bird released one album, 2000’s ''[[Chrome Reflection]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/8041679-Bird-64|title = Bird (64)}}</ref>

==Broken Social Scene==
==Broken Social Scene==
It was his work with [[Broken Social Scene]] that allowed Collett to give up woodworking and become a full-time musician. Collett became a member of Broken Social Scene, serving as one of their guitarists, after the band’s album ''[[You Forgot It In People]]''. Collett was eventually convinced by [[Kevin Drew]] to join the band once they moved from a strictly instrumental band into one that wrote their own songs – "Digphilly". Though Collett took a break from touring with Broken Social Scene in the fall of 2005 to pursue his solo career and spend time with his family, Collett has made many musical connections through the band. His 2005 album, ''[[Idols of Exile]]'', produced by [[Howie Beck]], featured many prominent Canadian artists. Broken Social Scene’s [[Kevin Drew]], [[Leslie Feist]] and [[Brendan Canning]] all contributed, as did members of bands [[Stars (Canadian band)|Stars]] and [[Metric (band)|Metric]].

In 2005, he released ''[[Idols of Exile]]'', his first on his current record label, [[Arts & Crafts (record label)|Arts & Crafts]]; it was the same label to sign Broken Social Scene. Jason's ''[[Here's to Being Here]]'' was released in February 2008 and is different from ''Idols of Exile''. Instead of a group effort, with many collaborating artists, Collett decided to focus on making an album that was meant to be played live.

Jason Robert Collett is a Canadian singer-songwriter from Toronto, Ontario. He has released six solo studio albums, and is a former member of Broken Social Scene.

Early life

[edit]

Collett was born in Bramalea, a Greater Toronto Area suburb. He began writing songs at a young age to escape the boredom of his suburban life, and cites Bob Dylan, Kris Kristofferson and Nick Lowe as influences. Eventually, Collett moved to downtown Toronto where he worked as a woodworker and carpenter, doing renovations and custom home building, while he pursued his music.

In the late 1980s, Collett co-founded the band Lazy Grace with Kathryn Rose and Kersti McLeod,[2] performing every Monday at Toronto’s Spadina Hotel at the popular indie music gathering, Radio Mondays, alongside The Weakerthans and artists on the record label Arts & Crafts, who would perform and write songs together. Collett has mentioned how Radio Mondays were great community-building events, with five or six artists on stage at a time.[3]

Around 2000, he was a part of the short-lived alternative country group Bird, of which Andrew Cash and Hawksley Workman were also members. Bird released one album, 2000’s Chrome Reflection.[4]

Broken Social Scene

[edit]

It was his work with Broken Social Scene that allowed Collett to give up woodworking and become a full-time musician. Collett became a member of Broken Social Scene, serving as one of their guitarists, after the band’s album You Forgot It In People. Collett was eventually convinced by Kevin Drew to join the band once they moved from a strictly instrumental band into one that wrote their own songs.

Though Collett took a break from touring with Broken Social Scene in the fall of 2005 to pursue his solo career and spend time with his family, Collett has made many musical connections through the band. His 2005 album, Idols of Exile, produced by Howie Beck, featured many prominent Canadian artists. Broken Social Scene’s Kevin Drew, Leslie Feist and Brendan Canning all contributed, as did members of bands Stars and Metric.
