Jason Achilles Mezilis is an 8-year veteran of the LA music scene, where he has performed with, produced, and recorded a number of bands in the west coast indie circuit. He is also a studio owner, and divides his time between live performance with OWL, and ongoing recording and production work. He is an accomplished pianist, having studied classically from a young age, and had only been inspired to pick up the guitar a week after his first “Van Halen” concert at the age of 16. An eventual Bachelor’s in Music from the University of California, Berkeley – and a number of internships at various recording studios – led him through the streets of Oakland, San Francisco, and eventually the southland – where he now resides in Hollywood.

Jason and Chris met through a mutual acquaintance in LA’s legendary (now-defunct) ‘Opium Den’ nightclub. A 7-year long friendship ensued, eventually paving the way for their making music together. Despite being the ‘odd-man-out’ in Chris and Dan’s long-time friendship, Jason has found a comfortable niche in the OWL nest, due in large part to his gleeful initiative to try and tell everybody else what to do, all the time.
