Jason DeVore

Jason Bradley DeVore was born on September 9, 1979, in Mesa, Arizona. He spent his early years relocated to Wyoming, where he developed an interest in punk rock music, which was significantly influenced by his involvement in skateboarding and snowboarding. This foundation guided his career path. By the age of 14, DeVore was playing in local punk bands. In 1994, he co-founded Authority Zero in Mesa, Arizona, a band recognized for its punk rock, ska, reggae, and rock influences. His roles in the band included lead singer and songwriter.

Over nearly three decades, DeVore has toured globally with Authority Zero, expanding his artistic expression beyond music. During the 2020 pandemic, he formalized his visual art, combining drawing, painting, photography, and song lyrics to create works that reflect themes of love, humanity, suffering, faith, and underlying beauty. This venture, known as Devore Arts and Imagery, operates alongside his musical career. Jason DeVore has been the lead singer of Authority Zero for over 28 years, a period marked by numerous album releases and tours across North America, Europe, and Japan.

Authority Zero has released eight studio albums, starting with “A Passage in Time” in 2002 on Lava Records, which featured popular songs “One More Minute” and “Over Seasons.” The band followed up with “Andiamo” in 2004, which included politically charged tracks, and “12:34” in 2007. Later releases include “Stories of Survival” (2010), “The Tipping Point” (2013), “Broadcasting to the Nations” (2017), “Persona Non Grata” (2018), and “Ollie Ollie Oxen Free” (2021). DeVore has also pursued solo projects and founded The Deadly’s, a Celtic-Irish punk band. He is also a co-owner and operator of Earth Skateboards.
