Biography
Jason Deere was born on Vance Air Force Base in Enid, Oklahoma. By the time he was three years old his family moved to Norman, Oklahoma where he lived until he graduated from Norman High School in 1987. His fire for music was lit the day he sang in front of his second grade class (Glen Campbell’s Rhinestone Cowboy). He began writing songs in high school and played in local bands around Oklahoma. After spending a year at Brigham Young University, where he started as a freshman on BYU’s rugby team, and after serving a two-year mission for his church, Deere finished his education at the University Of Oklahoma in 1994 with a degree in English Literature. He then moved to Nashville, Tennessee where he has resided since.
