Jason Oosthuizen is a renowned South African drummer and musician, who started playing drums at the age of four, and since then has gone on to play in some of the best bands to come out of South Africa. In 2018 he decided to broaden his musical horizons to singer/songwriter position by replacing the drumsticks with a Gibson electric guitar and mic as frontman of Oooth. For Oooth, Jason has written, recorded and produced most aspects of the project himself.

Who Cares What You Think. was written and recorded by Jason over the last eight months, and recorded with Pete Hanmer at Foxglove Studios in Johannesburg, South Africa. Inspired to push himself out of his comfort zone, Jason decided to challenge himself and his music career by writing and recording a full solo record. “It must be one of the most scary antics I’ve tried thus far.” says Jason.

Busy drumming, loud guitars and some sing along choruses are only a few elements which fans can expect from the new Oooth album. It has been a while since a rock band popped up in South Africa reviving the plain and simple rock ’n roll sound with no restrains on lyrical content, and Oooth, for which Jason performs with full band, wants to do just that.

“I think too many people don’t do things they want to do because they scared of what others will think of them. I just think who cares what people think, and just do it in anyway.” – Jason Oosthuizen.

Band Line-Up:
Jason Oosthuizen – vocals/guitar

Slade Du Randt – drums
