Jason O’Hare was born in Dublin and raised in Ashbourne, Co. Meath. A troubled teenager who kept poetry hidden from his friends, he turned to music when the army turned him away because of his past. At 23, those secret words have become songs that carry grit, honesty, and the weight of lived experience.
With a deep, raspy voice and a style that blends rock, country, hip hop, and poetry, Jason’s music pulls from influences like Zach Bryan, Aslan, Seamus Heaney, Kings of Leon, and Phil Lynott. His lyrics are rooted in youth - restless nights, mistakes, brotherhood, heartbreak - but strike with a universality that reaches beyond just Ireland.
His breakout song “What Would I Know” passed 100,000 views on TikTok, and “Blood and Nylon” has already been covered by listeners - a rare feat for such a young, unsigned artist. Though his following is still small, fans see him as one of the most promising new voices in Irish music: raw, powerful, and impossible to ignore.
