‘Run’ is the stunning debut release from Melbourne’s Jason Rooney (aka JRJ) and vocalist Rebecca Lockhart.

Meeting by chance at Melbourne’s long running club night OneLove, Jason & Rebecca instantly hit if off and within no time were in the studio together working on an array of what have been described as edgy & infectious commercial and more niche records that they guarantee will “make you wanna shake”

Both Jason & Rebecca come from strong musical backgrounds; Jason started out playing classical guitar from age 8, which he now uses as my primary basis when writing dance music and in recent years moved into live audio engineering and production managing working at Melbourne’s renowned Prince Bandroom. His gig at the Bandroom has seen him to rubbing shoulders with the likes of Scissor Sisters, Lupe Fiasco, The Pretenders, Feist, Erick Morillo, Deadmau5 & Axwell to name a few.

Rebecca started singing almost before she could talk wowing judges at Eisteddfods & Talent Quests since the age 11 and playing leads in musicals like Grease, Fame, Annie, Chicago & West Side Story. After graduating high school, Rebecca scored the role of Frida in an ABBA tribute show which saw her travelling all over the world performing in the intense 2 hour stage show.

"Run" was initially created as a guitar loop by Jason and grew from there with the basic melody and arrangement coming together one Saturday afternoon. Getting Rebecca to lay down a vocal for "Run" was never initially planed but once Jason had her singing there was now way he could consider another voice he would rather have on the record. The result is a beautiful marriage between Rebecca’s haunting and melodic vocal style and Jason’s deep and driving production laden with lush classical guitar.
