Jared May

Jared May’s musical journey began at the age of six. His musical studies and work across multiple genres (jazz, punk, hip-hop, soul, reggae, rock, folk, electronic, devotional, and world) have taken him across the U.S. and around the globe playing for audience sizes of up to 50,000 with artists like Donavon Frankenreiter.

Trained in the upright string bass and the electric bass guitar at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, Jared’s education helped further his development as a well-rounded bassist with a love for fusion and progressive jazz. Prior to graduation, he supplemented his education by playing in a variety of bands ranging in style from soul, reggae, rock, funk, hip-hop, folk and electronic, allowing him to push the envelope of music and shape his ears as a music producer.
