February 23, 2014 North Point Baptist Church www.npfam.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=216:jason-castro&catid=48:news&Itemid=109www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6ndlEsuDF4North Pointe Baptist Church 147 E. Hurst Blvd Hurst, TX 76053 February 23, 10:00am Join us on February 23 at 10:00am to worship with Singer, Songwriter, and American Idol contestant, Jason Castro. Artist Info: “I’ve heard it said that music is the language of the soul,” says internationally-renowned recording artist Jason Castro. “I think it’s something God created for our souls to be able to rejoice in.” Now, as this mellow Texan with the blue eyes, bright smile, and distinctive dreadlocks prepares to release his first full-length Word Records album, Only A Mountain, he finds himself with the chance to rejoice alongside a broad new audience of fellow believers. The prospect, he says, is thrilling: “This album to me is really kind of a breakthrough,” Castro confesses. “It feels like this veil has been lifted.” Raised in the church by a musical family of Colombian descent, Castro started drumming at 11, playing music in the youth ministry, joining his father in leading worship. But despite his musical background, the notion that young Jason might have a voice – or something to say with it musically – didn’t really begin to take shape until he hit college and picked up the guitar. The young drummer who cut his teeth on a steady diet of Blink 182, Switchfoot, and MxPx found himself drawn to the introspective sound of singer-songwriters like Ray LaMontagne and Jeff Buckley. “I started listening to their lyrics,” he says. “And that really captured me. I loved what the words were doing to me, and I wanted to be able to do that, you know?” Although he admits the first song he wrote and played for his then-girlfriend (now wife) was “pretty bad,” he soon gained enough courage to join friends for some coffeehouse gigs. When he hit the stage for the seventh season of American Idol, he’d only been singing for a year and a half. “I don’t know if I ever had an indication that I was meant to be a musician, or good enough to do it professionally,” Castro laughs of taking the Idol plunge. “All I really had was a heart for it.” That heart eventually led him to a fourth-place finish on the show, where he won consistent critical acclaim for his stripped-down takes on songs like “Over the Rainbow” and Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” His laid-back acoustic style was unlike anything that show’s belting-diva-accustomed audience had ever seen. “I wasn’t a great natural singer or anything, but I had passion,” he says now. “For whatever reason, things lined up the way they did, and I believe there was a bigger reason than things just ‘happening.’ I really cherish the Idol experience. Sometimes I just laugh, like, ‘Was that real?’” The success that came next was even more unbelievable for the soft-spoken and humble Castro: His 2010 self-titled debut on Atlantic Records entered the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart at No. 18, and spawned the international hit “Let’s Just Fall In Love Again” – a No. 1 single in Norway, Singapore and the Philippines. Determined to establish himself with the public as a legitimate performing artist and not just a TV star from American Idol, he then began touring regularly with his band and has never stopped. Jason joined the I Am Second campaign in Dallas, speaking publicly about his faith for the first time since gaining national attention, and the Christian community began to take an interest in his message. Later that year, Atlantic and Word teamed up to re-release his debut as Who I Am, this time featuring five new faith-based songs. For Castro, something suddenly clicked. “As I started venturing down that road, I found a lot of fulfillment,” he says of combining his Christian faith and music career.

Jason Castro added 3 new photos on Facebook today April 15, 2014. Rainy day in Budila for our first boot drop! Had an amazing time with these precious kids. We visited them at a school that is run by one of Roma Boots partners here, Firm Foundations Romania. We gave boots to 50+ kids attending the school, some of who had walked to school in sandals or bare feet in the rainy/freezing weather. Their Joy was infectious!
