The Jason Payne

British riff-driven melodic metal hailing from London, UK

With a history boasting over half a million streams, 50 live shows and a modest lifetime of musical creation with past acts, London based metal artist Jason Payne has took 2020 to embark on a new journey; ‘Jason Payne & The Black Leather Riders’. A culmination and reincarnation of his strongest rock compositions, with his debut single released, and numerous singles ready and waiting, taking influence from the likes of Slash, Alter Bridge, Metallica, and many other legendary acts over the years.

2017 to 2020 saw Jason front the British rock outfit Louzada on guitar and vocals, achieving over 300,000 streams across Spotify & YouTube and amassing thousands of worldwide fans, all through a modest discography of just one single, and one EP. The arrival of the worldwide pandemic in 2020 brought about the amicable hiatus of Louzada, resulting in time to put in the focus and determination needed to launch his most ambitious project yet.

Think big riffs, impactful grit-laden vocals, and an energy just screaming to be invited to the live stage, and that's exactly what Jason's debut single 'Waking The Damned' brings [https://youtu.be/f_hDsqhQHTQ]. Released December 2020, 'Waking The Damned' became a viral hit amongst rock & metal lovers alike, garnering over 250,000 views / streams to date, multiple worldwide press features, a whole army of new and engaged followers, and this is just the start...
