Speaking to Jamie about his love of music and how he likes to take risks in the studio, Jason says: “I think it’s important to do something new and bring something new to the table . I remember when my A&R Mike Karen – who by the way is one of the best A&Rs EVER – heard “Dirty Talk” for the first time, and he said to me: “Either it’s going to be the biggest hit in the world, or it’s going to make noise!” At that moment I knew I had to record this song.
Opening up about his insecurities away from the spotlight, the three-time Teen Choice Award winner shares, “When people talk about my weight, it can be difficult.
