Dr. Jason Wilson is a Canadian historian and a two-time Juno-Awards nominated reggae musician from Downsview, Ontario. He is the protégé of Studio One keyboardist Jackie Mittoo and the cousin of UB40's Michael Virtue. Though they never met, Scottish-born American songwriter Johnny Cymbal is Wilson's first cousin, once removed.
