2002: Dream & Vision Stage

2004: Live Performing Stage

“Jason Tom's rendition of Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' is a spectacle of showmanship. From the first drum and snare beats, the song is recognizable, and you wonder how so many sounds could be coming from one person's mouth. Add to this Jason Tom's signature Michael Jackson moves, from the hip thrust to the hand jive. He glides across the floor in a smooth moonwalk.”

2006: Public Speaking Stage

Legacy Stage: American Born Chinese | 譚志豪
Jason Tom is a multi-lingual born again Christian and multi-generational American Born Chinese of Asian Pacific American and Toisanese descent. His Chinese name is translated as a person of outstanding talent, will and many aspirations.

Miracle Stage: Man of Faith
By age 21, a vehicle collided with him. Driver rendered help and prayed for him. It’s a “miracle” he survived the impact. The next day, he was taken to see Mel Gibson’s the Passion of the Christ. That changed the trajectory of his life and career. He re-dedicated his life to- and faith in- God on October 24, 2008.
