Jason Sunday

Jason Sunday was born in Claremore Ok. and is a Cherokee Nation Citizen. He has deep roots in Entertainment, being born into a very musical family. Jason's paternal Grandfather was a well known fiddle player as well as multiple Aunts, Uncles and Cousins who were touring musicians. At family get togethers you could guarantee there was always a stage, guitars, multiple other instruments and a show. 
            In High School and College, Jason was dubbed a "jack of all trades." It was said there wasn't anything he couldn't do and excel at it, whether creatively or as an exceptional athlete, having been scouted in high school to play professional baseball. He was a talented baseball player having played to the College Level as a masterful pitcher.  
            Jason's love for performing started at an early age in elementary school. He was introduced to stage and theater from a school teacher. He focused on his musical talents at the early age of 13 crafting his musicianship, playing guitar and writing skills. He had a talent for composing melody and started writing his own songs at the age of 15. Not only did he write original music for his own bands through his teenage and young adult years, he used his many talents collaborating with others, and touring with his own band. Jason has shared the stage with many talented, high profile musicians over the years. In his early twenties, he wrote and produced a pop song that was to be featured in an independent short film. Unfortunately, the film never finished due to production disagreements, but the song still exists and went on to obtain radio airplay. Jason has a passion for many forms of Art, not just acting and performing musically but also the visual. Having his original Cherokee paintings and Artwork win awards and be featured at several Art installations. Toward the end of High School he was approached and offered to attend one of the Nations top performing Art Schools for his Art. He declined the offer to attend College instead to continue playing baseball. 
          Jason has since reignited his love of Acting and never looked back. He has taken Acting classes in Auditioning, Scene Study/Character break down and Acting for the Camera. He has also worked in intensives in the study of S.Meisner and the works of S.Adler and is continuely to work and develope the skill whenever given the opprotunity.  
 He has acted in several Independent short and Feature Films as a lead, Supporting and Principal Actor.  His acting work is paying off, having landed several films in Film Festivals and winning awards around the Country. This has also lead him to writing and directing his own Native stories. His passion for getting stories told by Natives and proper Native reprenstation is at the forefront. Having a background in Music and the Technical skill has also lead to work for Production in for voice over and he still does the occasional live stage performances as well.  As he's well earned.

He's a "jack of all trades."
