Jason Evigan: The Mind Behind 100 Billion Streams & 8 Billboard #1s
In this episode of Behind The Wall, we dive into the incredible journey of Jason Evigan, a powerhouse songwriter and producer behind some of the biggest hits in modern music. From crafting global anthems for Maroon 5, Demi Lovato, Jason Derulo, Ellie Goulding, Nick Jonas, Benson Boone, RÜFÜS DU SOL, and even Madonna and David Guetta, Jason's fingerprints are all over the pop music landscape. His work has topped charts, broken records, and resonated with millions worldwide.
But behind the success, Jason found himself at a crossroads—after years of chasing chart-toppers and commercial hits, he made a bold decision: to stop focusing on just making hits and instead create music with artists that connect with him on a deeper level. He traded the pressure of industry expectations for artistic fulfillment, choosing to collaborate with musicians who inspire him, rather than just aiming for commercial success.
And here’s where it gets even crazier—
For the first time ever, Jason takes us Behind The Wall for an exclusive, never-before-seen deep dive into his original demos, revealing the early versions of some of the biggest hits of our time! In this exclusive segment, Jason breaks down the stories behind:
🎵 "Girls Like You" (Maroon 5) – The original demo and how the song almost went to a completely different artist.
🎵 "Chains" (Nick Jonas) – The raw demo that helped shape Nick’s sound and the incredible story of how it came together.
🎵 "Hate Me" (Ellie Goulding) – The evolution from demo to the hit you know today.
🎵 "What Lovers Do" (Maroon 5) – Who almost snagged this smash hit before it landed with Maroon 5.
These demos, featuring vocals from the original songwriters, are only available to our Behind The Wall community, making this an insane, one-of-a-kind experience you won’t find anywhere else.
