Biography

Jason Sellers was born March 4, 1971 in Gilmer, Texas. His musical beginnings were as a member of his family's gospel music group, the Sellers Family, which toured throughout the Western United States.[2] Between 1991 and 1997, he was married to Lee Ann Womack,[3] with whom he had one daughter, Aubrie Lee (born 1991).

Sellers moved to Nashville, Tennessee while still in his late teens.[1] He then persuaded Vince Gill to allow him to play bass guitar in Gill's road band when the band's regular bassist was unavailable.[2] Gill then recommended Sellers to Billy Joe Royal, in whose band Sellers soon became bassist.[2] Afterward, Sellers moved to Ricky Skaggs' road band, also becoming a songwriter and road manager for Skaggs.[2] While with Skaggs, Sellers also worked on his songwriting skills, and had songs recorded by Pam Tillis, Lonestar, and Wade Hayes.[1]

He was subsequently signed to BNA Records in 1997,[1] releasing his debut single "I'm Your Man" this year. This song, which peaked at #37 on the country charts,[3] was the first of three singles from his debut album, also entitled I'm Your Man. Also released from it were "That Does It" and "This Small Divide", the latter a duet with Martina McBride.

A second album, A Matter of Time, produced his highest-charting single in its #33-peaking title track. One day after the album's release, he exited the label's roster.[4] The album's second single ("Can't Help Calling Your Name", a carryover from I'm Your Man) peaked at #64.

Although he has not released any singles since 2000, he holds several credits as a songwriter, session bass guitarist and harmony vocalist. Singles that Sellers has co-written include "You Can't Hide Beautiful" by Aaron Lines, "I'm a Saint" by Mark Chesnutt, "Some People Change" by Montgomery Gentry, "The One in the Middle" by Sarah Johns, "If You Didn't Love Me" by Phil Stacey, "I Still Miss You" by Keith Anderson, and "Strange" by Reba McEntire.
