Jaeson pursued his mission with genuine fervor, starting by building churches on University campuses. Presently he has planted over 200 churches worldwide. Jaeson ventured passed the comforts of the U.S. and began traveling to every corner of the world, preaching to and inspiring thousands with a message of hope and passion for Jesus. After building a strong foundation for his ministry, Jaeson again received a calling from God in his dreams. This time he was summoned to reach out to the entertainment industry as a messenger of the gospel. With his great oratory skills and keen sense of connection to people, the recording booth would become his new pulpit and his music would serve as a new vehicle for preaching the truth.
Jaeson's music has been inspired by an eclectic variety of inspirations, but there is no genre that can particularly define the sound and message of his music. His music is a mixture of spoken word, preaching on beats, and prophetic utterances of a melodic tune. Most of his lyrics are inspired through his spirituality and there is nothing that compares to its power in today's popular music.
As an artist, Jaeson Ma's passion has always been to craft music that is inspired from the heart. He grew up in the Bay Area, CA listening to all genres of music, specifically hip hop, rock and gospel. Some of his musical influences have been Run DMC, Will Smith, MC Hammer, 2Pac, Nas, Notorious B.I.G., Wu Tang Clan, Hieroglyphics, Living Legends, Pharcyde, U2, Nirvana, Lifehouse, Switchfoot, Coldplay, Delirious, Jason Upton, P.O.D., KRS-One, and many others.
Jaeson currently resides in Hollywood, CA where he pursues his passions of knowing God and living life everyday with divine joy. His mission in life is "to know love and make love known." His journey is just beginning and his hope is that his music will bring heaven closer to Earth, and his words will help hearts be awakened to truth and love. His favorite quote is - "If you don't have a passion worthy dying for, you have nothing worth living for".

Gratitude
Jaeson Ma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thankful for my health, thankful for my family and my friends
Thankful for the good things in life and thankful even for the bad
Because everything in this life, is a gift and I don't take it for granted
I don't understand it all, but I am thankful because everything I've been given
Has made me the person I am today and I might not be what I wanna be
But I thank God, I'm not where I use to be
I am thankful for who I am and I don't want to be anyone else, but myself
Thank you for every day you give me, thank you for every opportunity
Cause your my strength when I'm weak and for that I want you to know
That I'm thankful, that I'm thankful
And it's all because of you, so this is my gratitude to show you
That I'm thankful
Thankful for my mother for raising me up all these years, as a single mom
Thankful for my father, who wasn't perfect, but I know he tried
Thankful for my brothers and sisters
Who believed in me when no one else would
I'm thankful for my education, thankful for my clothes on my back
Thankful for the food that I eat, I'm thankful that I am alive and breathing
Because you are the reason, I am thankful
I'm thankful for my friends
Who loved me, when I didn't deserve it
I thank you for listening
Because not everyone in this world is given a fair chance
And for those without a voice I speak for you, I've got nothing but gratitude
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
Courage, to change the things I can, and the wisdom, to know the difference
I am thankful, thankful that you lifted me up, when I was down
I am thankful that you were there for me, when I was sick
I thank you that you comforted me, when I was lonely
That when everyone left me, you were still there", carrying me through
I am thankful for every relationship given
For no person is a failure, if that person has friends
True success is not what you achieve it's being faithful to your values and convictions
I love you, you love me. That is success, and success is having GRATITUDE
