Jason Singh (12 March 1973) is the lead singer of the Australian band Taxiride. Born in Melbourne, Australia, to his Fiji Indian father and his mother of Maltese origin, he was actively playing in the live scene at Melbourne for several years, before auditioning and joining the new outfit with Tim Watson and Tim Wild. Dan Hall soon came on aboard and Taxiride came to life in 1996.
Jason attributes his Indian descent and his love for Indian classical music to the use of strains of tabla and sitar sounds in the band's music, especially in the track "Happiness Without You" out of their second album, "Garage Mahal". Sitars are also used in the tracks Get Set and Rocketship. He also likes listening to Lata Mangeshkar and watching Bollywood films.
