About Jason Max Ferdinand Singers

The Jason Max Ferdinand Singers is a project that Jason Max Ferdinand has thought about since 2001. In January of 2021, a creative opportunity was asked of Jason, and after some hesitation and contemplation, he decided to take a dive into the deep.

What resulted is a choral group that is the epitome of excellence. A diverse group – made up of professional artists as well as teachers, lawyers, and other non-singing professionals – this malleable ensemble performs a variety of musical genres with an authenticity that is felt with each note. The group is on a mission to promote black excellence through choral literature of contrasting styles, while advocating for inclusion, diversity, and unity within our various societies throughout the world.
