JWA Media is a boutique style publicity, media & public relations company based just outside of America’s Music City near Nashville. From angels to outlaws, and everything in between, JWA Media provides professional representation for independent and indie label musicians, artists, songwriters, music producers, impresarios and other creative spirits. 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. 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.
