Jason Weaver
A foray into music was a natural transition for child star, Jason Weaver. Following landmark roles as Little Michael Jackson in the classic 1992 miniseries, The Jacksons: An American Dream, the role of Jerome Turrell, alongside Brandy Norwood, on the 1993 sitcom, Thea, and the landmark role as the singing voice of Young Simba in Disney’s The Lion King in 1994, Weaver’s future was bright and full of music. He released his debut album, Love Ambition in 1995 on Motown Records. Weaver delivered compositions from Keith Crouch (“I Can’t Stand The Pain”, “Love Ambition”, “So In Love”), Robin Thicke (“On Top of the Hill”), Tricky Stewart (“All Up Into You”), a cover of The Isley Brother’s “For The Love of You”, as well as Hakim Abdulsamad, Bilal Abdulsamad, Khiry Abdulsamad and Tajh Abdulsamad of The Boys (“Ordinary Guy”, “My Love”). Although a solid debut, Weaver’s heart belonged on screen, finding success in his role as Marcus Henderson on the sitcom, Smart Guy.
