Jason Mraz - Waiting For My Rocket To Come

The singer-songwriter's debut album, on 2LP

Produced by John Alagia

Two-time Grammy winner and six-time nominee

Twenty-five year old Jason Mraz made his first forays into the music scene at a young age, making the pilgrimage from Mechanicsville, Virginia to New York City at 18 to study performance and music theater. Soon, he was honing his singer-songwriter skills busking on the streets of Manhattan. Eventually making his way to the west coast, Mraz now embraces what he calls a life of sleep, peace and poetry — and hundreds of shows that have smitten thousands of fans.

His debut album, Waiting For My Rocket To Come, is packed with witty, wordy, smart, funky and astonishingly catchy pop songs that do right by the best singer-songwriter traditions of Elektra. The album was produced by John Alagia, who has worked with the Dave Matthews Band and John Mayer, among others.

Mraz's single "I'm Yours" previously held the record for the most weeks spent on Billboard's Hot 100 chart at 76 weeks, set in 2008-09.
