I was in my late 20’s when I fell in love with guys with dreadlocks. I’m not kidding, my first instinct was gross, then these dreaded locks showed up on some fairly interesting men in my social circle and suddenly I found myself thinking, “hey, those aren’t so bad”. Anyway, Jason Castro is only 20 and he auditioned in Dallas Texas and not San Diego. His hometown is Rowlett, Texas and he apparently is fairly true to his state because his musical influences reads like this:
“Nowadays, my favorite singer-songwriter is Ray Lamontagne. There are a lot of great bands in Texas that have inspired me. Kirk Baxley is my favorite singer/performer of all musicians.”
Jason is only 20, again a youngster in this competition, but his quote is fairly unique, I like it. “In the end, it will all be ok. If it’s not ok, then it’s not the end!” Fairly complicated, eh?
He does say that his favorite female pop artist is Kelly Clarkson and I really don’t like her at all. He said he started singing in the choir in the fifth grade but didn’t sing again until his freshman year in college. Imagine him standing beneath your window serenading you prior to the prom? Yea, I get the first love song he sings too, sung straight into my eyes…from his….because people, he has some serious eyes.
Jason also plays drums and guitars and likes all that artsy-fartsy stuff like drawing, painting and building and finally, he likes soccer. That doesn’t bode very well for our future as I hate soccer but, I still get the first love song he sings.
