JASIO Releases ‘Fantasy’
Jasio Kulakowski (releasing as 'Jasio') is a Canadian guitarist, songwriter, and producer carving out uncharted sonic territory with his debut solo album Fantasy. After co-writing four highly-acclaimed albums and earning two Juno nominations with Kobra and the Lotus, Kulakowski has emerged as a fearless solo artist, handling every aspect-writing, performance, production, and mixing—in a true grassroots effort.
His new work defies categorization, fusing rock's power with dark electronic textures, massive synth basslines, and modern hip-hop/EDM sensibilities. Critics compare him to a "modern-day Pink Floyd," while Kulakowski cites influences from other genre-bending artists such as Tame Impala, Twenty One Pilots, Gorillaz and Nine Inch Nails. The result is a cinematic, genre-bending sound pushing alternative music into bold territory.
During his tenure with Kobra and the Lotus (2012-2020), Kulakowski performed on the world's biggest stages, sharing bills with KISS, Def Leppard, and Judas Priest. His work garnered Billboard Active Rock chart positions and over 25 million streams worldwide.
Now independent for his debut release "Fantasy" — Kulakowski proves that authentic artistry and dedication forge new paths in modern music. Singles from Fantasy including "Fall", "Cloudline", "Last One Standing" and "Okay" showcase an artist unafraid to blur boundaries, creating what international press called "a creative renaissance" that redefines contemporary alternative music.
