JWA Media is a boutique style publicity, media & public relations company based just outside America’s Music City near Nashville. From angels to outlaws, and everything between, JWA Media provides professional representation to independent and indie label musicians, artists, songwriters, music producers, impresarios, creative spirits and event producers who employ and support creatives. The company is operated solely by former Marine, freelance music journalist, music promoter, and corporate event industry veteran Jason W. Ashcraft. It is operated under a core belief in the proliferation of music and art over money, quality over quantity, and real storytelling by real journalists, about real songwriters and artistic creators. We believe that music is medicine, and that songs can transform lives and perspectives on important social issues. Therefore, JWA Media strictly limits the number of artists and projects being worked within a given timeframe in order to ensure the right amount of hands-on attention and focus is delivered on what each client’s project deserves and requires.
