About Jason Ji Music

Jason Ji Music

Owner & Guitarist

Based in Boston and serving the South Shore, Cape Cod and Rhode Island, Jason Ji performs romantic ceremonies, lively roaming cocktail hours and elegant dinners. A Berklee College of Music graduate (summa cum laude) and two-time Carnegie Hall solo performer, he was a top-four finalist at the 2024 International Finger Style Guitar Championship and won the 2026 Indiana State Fingerstyle Guitar Competition. His solo guitar arrangements bring melody, bass and rhythm together, with music tailored to your celebration and professional sound and backup equipment included.

What sets me apart is not only fingerstyle mastery that brings the richness of a full ensemble onto one guitar - but also the way I connect with guests. With wireless roaming, I take requests, spark singalongs, crack jokes, and greet guests with a smile - turning live music into a shared celebration. Couples hire me for a mix of virtuosity and warmth: unforgettable music that elevates the atmosphere while making everyone feel included.

    Goes the extra mile

    Jason truly made the soundtrack to our wedding. His guitar playing is so expressive and beautifully emotional during the ceremony, and then he completely shifted the energy for cocktail hour - roaming around, taking requests, and getting everyone singing along! He played everything from ABBA and Sinatra to even Chappell Roan, and our guests are still talking about the music weeks later. Jason was incredibly professional, responsive, and thoughtful throughout the entire planning process, which put us at ease on the big day. We would hire him again in a heartbeat for any event that needs live music!

    Fun and pleasant -- five star performer

    I truly loved working with Jason Ji, he was hands down one of our favorite vendors of the entire weekend. From our very first Zoom call, I could tell he would be a wonderful fit to help shape the musical atmosphere of our wedding. His single guitar sounded so full like akin to a whole quartet worth of sound. Jason was incredibly accommodating as our plans evolved. He was flexible with both a date and time change to help us capture the cooler summer evening we wanted. He arrived early at the venue and even joined us at our rehearsal BBQ, which meant a lot to us. He provided all of the background music for our ceremony, performing live guitar that felt like magic. His romantic medleys and seamless improvisations brought so much depth and feeling to the space. He also accompanied my sister as she played her instrument, creating a truly heartfelt moment that many guests told us they’d never forget. When our DJ was delayed, Jason stepped in without hesitation to set up the ceremony audio, keeping everything running smoothly and calmly. Throughout the planning process, Jason was responsive, warm, and completely professional. His music was elegant, expressive, and perfectly suited for the emotional tone of our ceremony.. If you’re looking for live music that feels thoughtful, beautifully performed, and backed by someone who truly cares about your day, I wholeheartedly recommend Jason for live music at any event- you’ll be in the BEST hands.

    Most complimented vendor of our wedding!

    Jason was absolutely incredible. His unique guitar style added such an emotional touch to both our ceremony and cocktail hour. The music was INSANELY beautiful and tasteful, he was able to make one guitar sound so incredibly full and expressive, perfectly suited to our wedding. He even worked in some rock requests that he learned just for us. Out of all our vendors, Jason received by far the most compliments! He was warm, professional, and working with him was effortless from start to finish. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Jason's music was a key element to the success of our evening celebration!! Many guests commented on his impressive talent. We were absolutely delighted with his fantastic playing and extensive knowledge of musical pieces. He is an extraordinary professional. We look forward to working with Jason again in the future!


Think of it as a full band reimagined on a single instrument. Unlike a standard guitarist who just strums chords, I play the bass lines, drum rhythms, and vocal melodies simultaneously. This creates a rich, full sound that fills the room like an ensemble, but with the elegance and footprint of a soloist.
This is my signature offering for Cocktail Hours and Parties. Using cutting-edge wireless technology, I am not tethered to a stage or a speaker. I move through the crowd, interacting with guests and playing songs right at their tables. It breaks the "wall" between the artist and the audience, creating high-energy, unforgettable moments and photo ops.
Absolutely. One of the benefits of my style is that I can arrange virtually any song - whether it’s a Top 40 hit, a classic rock anthem, or a jazz standard - into a romantic or upbeat instrumental piece. I offer custom arrangements for the entire ceremony portion of the wedding as well as first dance song to truly personalize the music.
Yes. My sound system is designed to cover events of up to 300 guests with crystal-clear audio. For larger galas, I can link multiple systems wirelessly to ensure even coverage throughout the entire venue without running messy cables across the floor.
I am proudly endorsed by Godin Guitars, QSC Audio, and LR Baggs. I perform using Godin’s flagship acoustic guitar, the Connoisseur Series, and carry a custom Martin OM-28 (with a European Spruce top) as a dedicated backup. For sound, I use two QSC KC12 column arrays. This premium system provides crystal-clear, evenly dispersed audio for events of up to 350 guests while maintaining a sleek, architectural aesthetic that blends into high-end venues.
