Jason “Phenom” Pagan, CEO of So Phenomenal Entertainment, was born in the birthplace of Hip-Hop; Bronx, New York. He was exposed to music at an early age. Whereby, his passion and creativity grew throughout his years. Jason was first introduced to music when he met a producer/lyricist through his older sister, Christina. The producer taught him how to comprise beats, which was the seed that contrived plenty of fruit in Jason’s career.

                  After being initially taught the art of producing music, Jason continued to practice for the following months. Eventually, he began to freestyle over the beats he created. These free flowing styles evolved, and he began songwriting. At the young age of 14, Jason emerged into the stage persona, “Phenom.”

                  As Phenom, his career began to develop and emerge. Despite having to leave school, he became very industrious and decided to embark upon his dreams. “I knew leaving school was a big thing, but I, also, knew that I had greatness in me, so instead of running the streets, I choose music.” Phenom built his own studio within his apartment, where he lived with his mother, sister, brother, and grandmother. “My grandmother was very influential to my growth during my teen years.” She pushed him to work on his art both day and night.

                  Phenom began producing for many local artists, and decided to branch out into rapping, as well as songwriting. This is when his business mindset began to evolve. “I was mostly inspired by Jay-Z, who managed a group of artists while being involved in numerous other business activities,” Jason recalled. Consequently, Phenom put together his own team of talented artists, and “Team So Phenomenal” was born.

                  Aboard “Team So Phenomenal,” were two artists, Oz and Jovanna. Oz is an artist from the South Bronx, who initially began writing poetry and developed into a rapper with a captive flow. Jovanna is a beautiful R&B singer/songwriter that hails from the Bronx as well, whose vocals blends in with promise to carry her and So Phenomenal to high achievements. Together, these artists have performed throughout New York City for vendors and shows.

Furthermore, as an artist, Phenom has achieved great heights. He has been featured in articles depicting his story, being a young kid to a successful young minority entrepreneur. Specifically, his humble beginning from leaving school, to building a home based studio to releasing his first EP “Feeling Like a Champion.” Yet, he is still standing in his beginning, and what a great start!
