| Website: | http://www.jasonhigh.com |
| Info: | Jason High started out as a drummer in school, and had his
first taste of drum machine programming with the Alesis
HR-16b.
Michael Peace
He recalls seeing Michael Peace's name on the program for
Atlanta Fest in 1988. "I remember asking somebody who that
was and they said, 'I think it's like, a Christian rapper or
something'", he recalls. "I figured that was going to be
pretty terrible, because I already had Stephen Wiley's
'Rappin for Jesus' (1986) and it didn't compare to the Run
DMC and Beastie Boys I was into at the time.
PID
So I made plans to go take a shower. This was when Atlanta
Fest was at the race track and everybody camped out, instead
of having it at Six Flags. I was on my way with my towel on
my shoulder, and when I heard him on stage I flipped out."
On that same trip, he got ahold of P.I.D.'s "Here We Are"
and was hooked. By the time SFC hit the scene, he actually
knew what it was like to anticipate a Christian hip-hop
album. "I read about SFC in NOTeBORED magazine, and
couldn't wait".
Names
When the high school drumline had sweatshirts made, he was
donned with the name "High Tech" due to his last name,
aspirations to attend Georgia Tech, and his reputation as a
bit of a McGuyver.
The Pride
After high school, he got ahold of turntables and a Roland
S-1 sampler and put together a little EP. About that time,
he met up with Sintax the Terrific and soulHeir the manCHILD
at an open mic in Atlanta. From that point, he joined the
Pride, and they pooled their resources to get an MPC and
start recording tracks. Not wanting to be the only member
of the group without a two-part name, he added "the
Recon".

Instruments

group classes along the way. He played drums in a band
called Crossword Junkies (later Fabrik) in 2002 and 2003.
Family
Having worked a number of years in engineering after
graduating from Georgia Tech in 1999, Jason has returned to
his hometown of Albany, Georgia, and is seeking a Bachelor
of Music Education degree with intentions of becoming a high
school band director. He has been married to Fonta for the
