Jason French Releases The Video For His Debut Single "You Just Want My Money" Out Now On Young Forever/Interscope Records

SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- San Diego-bred singer/songwriter Jason French releases the video for his debut single, "You Just Want My Money," out now via Young Forever/Interscope Records. Check it out HERE. The video, which was shot in downtown LA and directed by Jimi Dava, premiered on Buzzfeed Music earlier this week.  French will also set out on tour this summer supporting Nico & Vinz.  The 24 city tour kicks off May 4^th in Anaheim, CA making stops in NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles and more before wrapping up in Jason's hometown of San Diego on June 8^th.  All dates listed below.

"You Just Want My Money" is a beachy slice of soul-pop built on French's warm vocals and reggae-inspired sense of rhythm. With its sweetly carefree mood and an infectious energy that's got much to do with French's passion as a songwriter and performer, the song hit 5 million streams on Spotify within a month of its online release, boosted by a social-media frenzy that has prompted the #youjustwantmymoney hashtag to produce more than 80 million impressions on Vine.  The song now has over 7 million Spotify streams.  Teaming up with producers Tyler Duncan and Theo Katzman, French is now working on a full-length debut album that infuses that passion into songs with a daring emotional honesty and undeniably positive spirit.

With Afro-Brazilian roots on his father's side and Native American and Portuguese blood on his mother's, French grew up singing in church (his dad was a preacher). He learned to play piano and guitar on his own around the age of ten. After teaching himself to play his dad's long-neglected acoustic guitar, French tried his hand at songwriting, largely inspired by the soul singers, hip-hop artists, and reggae musicians he loved most. In creating his debut album, French is working to shape his sensitivity and imagination as a songwriter into music that's uplifting in the most unlikely of moments. "I do try to be a positive force," he says. "I truly think that music can help you get through the hardest times, and I want my own music to be something that helps people lean toward hope."
