Jason Gordon Founder & CEO
As Jason describes it, an inclusive perspective means including all possibilities in discovering your personalized and dynamic direction in life. This perspective has become the heart and soul of what has evolved into the parent corporation, Alchemical Courtyard, of which Courtyard Music is a subsidiary. It is precisely by applying this inclusive philosophy to music that inspired Jason to bring Courtyard Music to an industry in flux. Jason brings passion, vision, and entrepreneurial spirit to this amazing venture. Through his own journeys, and his personal love of music, Jason understands that your creative expression is a direct reflection of who you are. As he looks out at the current state of the music business he sees an industry that does not support the individual in a multi-dimensional and multifaceted way. Jason has come to realize what is needed to guide an artist in an industry where you currently receive limited, if any support. Courtyard Music was established to support the process of unfolding your authenticity, and thus the genuine expression of your craft.
