Jaz Hookmaster
A tag has been placed on Jaz Hookmaster, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Jaz Hookmaster and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Shadowlynk (Talk) 19:22, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Jaz, music producer
Jaz, whose musical influences cross cultural lines, has been producing for 15 years and is widely sought after for A&R and album development. Born in San Diego, CA, Jaz got his name from his huge Jazz influences growing up. In his early teens, he was inspired to create music from listening to New-Wave 80’s acts such as Peter Gabriel, Paul Simon, Sting and Phil Collins, as well as the New Jack Swing artists of the early 90’s, such as Teddy Riley, Guy, Jodeci and Blackstreet. He began to record acappella songs, which made him a well-known presence within the San Diego music community. During high school, Jaz developed an uncanny gift for arrangement, which he utilized to create several successful R&B groups. He continued to sharpen his skills and became a very accomplished vocal arranger.

After high school, Jaz attended music courses at San Diego City College before transferring to the Musical Institute of Science in Los Angeles, CA. The Musical Institute propelled Jaz’s ability to professionally record and mix down songs. This coupled with his ability to arrange, quickly made him an unstoppable force after completing his internship.

He eventually moved back to San Diego in 1999 to utilize his skills in developing artists of all musical genres. Today, Jaz works with artists such as Goodie Mobb, Keith Murray, Max B, Ginuwine, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Jacka (Mob Figas), Turf Talk, Mister Fab, and Pastor Troy. He also has artists that he is grooming for stardom, such as Rachel Evans (vocalist), El Gun (rapper), Tommy Redding (vocalist), SFive (rapper)(Philadelphia) and Farrah Burns (rapper)(NYC).

Jaz is also chief engineer at Batkave Recordings (www.batkaverecordings.com), in San Diego, CA, where he does most of his production. He frequently travels between New York and Los Angeles to work with various music artists and production teams. In addition, Jaz’s passion for music production has led him on further ventures to Asia, Australia, and Mexico.

Jaz is changing the landscape of popular music today with his new and authentic tracks and his musical contribution is being accepted by industry and local artists alike.

“I take pride in working hard on projects and bringing the best out of artists and most importantly I understand that records are not made by one person, so I strive to be a team player,” Jaz says. He lends his talents in vocal arrangement and musicianship and he also has a knack for finding and cultivating talent. His objective is not to run the show, but to fill the crucial pieces of the puzzle needed by fellow artists, producers and labels alike.
