Jason Richardson(born July 30th 1991), is one of the most note worthy, young and upcoming virtuosic guitar players to date. After being accepted to Berklee College of music and receiving a partial scholarship, Richardson had the opportunity during his senior year of high school to start touring the world at the young age of 17 with the metal band All Shall Perish. He took the opportunity dropping out of high school and hasn’t turned back since. As time passed he went on to play/write with internationally touring metal bands such as Born of Osiris and Chelsea Grin.
