Jason Lily

Where the phenomenon originates? Jason Lily, born in 1988 in a family loving art and music, with mother Marie-Line and father Sylvain, he had the calling to practice music in his childhood. It all started with playing harmonica at 6. His father created LariBluz in Curepipe, a meeting place where musical expressions can be celebrated. At the age of 12, he got in touch with jazz music at the Caudan Waterfront in the weekend shows. He met with Neshen Teeroovengadum, with whom he is playing with in the Fink Factor band. He also approached Patrick Theeboo who introduced him to battery. He started battery lessons with the latter and during that period had the opportunity to play with the musicians at LariBluz.
