His father (Jerry Smith) was the former Vice President of Veejay Records (The Beatles, Little Richard, Oldies, and many more.) in Los Angeles in the 1960s and 1970s. His father has also been a member of the recording academy ((expired link) Awards) since the 6th annual Grammys and was also a drummer for such artists as The Four Tops, The Fifth Dimension, and has worked for Sinatra Enterprises as well. That inspired Jason to persue music as a career. At the age of two, Jason owned a mickey mouse set of drums and was intrigued by the sound. That probably was one of the first signs in knowing he would be musically talented throughout his life. At the age of six, Jason saw the black and white keys of was what to be an electric piano. Not learning how to read music, he had an ear for music. From That moment on, Jason started composing songs of multiple genres of music. At the age of twenty, Jason started to use his music name "Kwayke". That's when Kwayke had learned that using the the right software and a keyboard, that he could create hip hop beats.
