Putting a Face on the Fans

Jason Castro released a new album on Tuesday, November 9. Its title, Who I Am, was the inspiration for his tweet:



My new album, "Who I Am", is out today! Show me who you are! Tweet me a picture of yourself doing something you love& follow it with #whoiam

And his fans did, a lot of them. It was a special moment and it seemed sad to see it all disappear in the fast pace of social media. In case you missed them, here are a few of the pictorial responses.
















Get Who I Am and the EP, Live From Studio 1290 at iTunes, Amazon or from his website, Jason Castro Music

Best Article Ever

USA Today talks to Jason about his new album and live EP, which are slated for release tomorrow.

Some of my favorite excerpts from the article?

"These days in music, you want to leave as many options as possible for people," Jason says. "There are all sorts of music listeners. We really don't want to miss out on somebody because they're not a certain type."

"There are people that support you and really care for time with you. It's great to know that there are fans like that who really do care. Most of them I know by name and face, I've seen them so many times."

Can I get a collective, "Awwwwww." Is it any wonder why we love him so? <3

New Interview and Ad for Jason's Debut Soap Appearance

Jason Castro will be appearing on the popular CBS daytime soap, "The Bold & the Beautiful", on July 29th and 30th.

Check out this clip in which Jason talks about his guest role on the soap.

"Oliver's having a situation with his girl, and I'm just there to smooth it out, you know? That's what I do." LOL! Jason... you slay me.

The soap introduced Jason on a previous episode in which we were serenaded poolside by his last single, "That's What I'm Here For". Click here to watch the full episode.

To promote his daytime soap debut, Jason talked to "We Love Soaps" about the American Idol audition that almost didn't happen, his charity work for "Malaria No More", and going from shy to being recognized everywhere he goes.

I’m still adjusting. The hardest part is that I can’t get away. I can’t hide, I can’t put on a hat. It’s definitely a challenge because I am a private person. I am definitely outgoing and I enjoy meeting new people. I am not used to having the attention all the time. It’s one thing to have it on a stage, then being off stage and actually talking. It definitely makes me uncomfortable. But I take it one day at a time. And every time someone recognizes me it means I have a chance to share some music with them. I’m very grateful for that.

That selection in bold sounds familiar. Hmmm. Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah... I told him that Saturday. Haha.

In regard to his American Idol audition, he said, "They (the producers) saw something in me. Now, I just have to do it. I just have to work on it."

They weren't the only ones, Jason.
