Jason Mraz
This year, the San Diego California-based songwriter has been honoured with three Grammy Award nominations in the USA, including the prestigious “Song of the Year” nod for “I’m Yours.” Jason was also named in the “Best Male Pop Vocal Performance” category, while Mraz’s acclaimed new album, “WE SING. WE DANCE. WE STEAL THINGS.” was acknowledged for “Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical” (marking the work of Dyre Gormsen and Tony Maserati).
The album’s first single, “I’m Yours” has proven an international radio blockbuster, with #1 chart-topping runs in Indonesia, Malaysia, France, Australia, Norway, Sweden, USA and Canada, as well as top 3 success in Israel, Taiwan, Japan, Italy, and the Netherlands. What’s more, “I’m Yours” has been a top 10 favorite in Germany, Thailand, Switzerland, and Ecuador.
“I’m Yours,” which caused an online commotion upon its initial release, can now be found in thousands of user-generated videos from more than 25 countries, with more than 40 million views on YouTube.
“I’m Yours” has already received double platinum certification from the RIAA for sales exceeding 2 million in the USA. The single has also been awarded with a variety of certifications around the globe, including triple platinum status in Norway, platinum in Australia, and gold in both Sweden and Austria.
Furthermore, “WE SING. WE DANCE. WE STEAL THINGS.” has earned a range of international certifications quickly after the first single made it to the airwaves. Along with gold certification already awarded in the U.S., the album has received platinum awards in Australia and Korea, along with gold records in Norway, Sweden, and Singapore.
In other news, recently Mraz presented an exhibition of his photography, featured in the recently released book, a thousand things, at New York’s Charles Cowles Gallery. Jason’s first book of photography, the collection features 54 original photographs, including several self-portraits, all taken with Mraz’s poetic and sardonic eye. All photos were taken with a classic Polaroid Instant Camera using film that, as Jason notes, might be “found at your local * or general store.” a thousand things also includes a foreword by the legendary Graham Nash.
In accordance with Mraz’s wishes, a thousand things has been printed on FSC & ISO certified woodfree paper. The cover stock is FSC certified as well, fully recyclable, and chlorine-free. All printing has been done with soy-based inks. Only environmentally harmless glues were used in the binding process. All printing films, plates, and waste paper will be recycled.

Mraz’s first set of all-new material in nearly three years, “WE SING. WE DANCE. WE STEAL THINGS.” was produced by Martin Terefe, known for his work with KT Tunstall, Cat Stevens, Ron Sexsmith, and James Morrison. The album sees Mraz continuing to tread his own distinctive artistic path, melding a variegated musical tapestry with passionate, personal lyricism. Among the highlights are collaborations with British tunesmith James Morrison and singer/songwriter Colbie Caillat.
“WE SING. WE DANCE. WE STEAL THINGS.” follows Mraz’s two previous studio releases: 2002’s RIAA platinum-certified breakthrough, “WAITING FOR MY ROCKET TO COME,” and 2005’s “MR. A-Z,” which debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200. Mraz has also released a series of concert recordings, including 2004’s “TONIGHT, NOT AGAIN: JASON MRAZ LIVE AT THE EAGLES BALLROOM” and 2006’s digital-only release, “SELECTIONS FOR FRIENDS.”
