Jason Lytle is an American musician and singer-songwriter. He was born on March 26, 1969, in Modesto, California.
Lytle is best known as the lead singer and primary songwriter for the indie rock band Grandaddy, which he formed in 1992. The band gained a cult following in the late 1990s and early 2000s with their distinctive blend of lo-fi, synth-heavy music and melancholic, introspective lyrics.
After Grandaddy disbanded in 2006, Lytle launched a successful solo career, releasing several albums including "Yours Truly, The Commuter" and "Dept. of Disappearance." He has been praised for his ability to craft intricate, emotionally resonant songs that blend elements of indie rock, folk, and electronic music.
In addition to his music career, Lytle has also composed music for films and television, including the soundtrack for the film "This Is 40." He is known for his experimental and innovative approach to music, and he has been cited as an influence by several younger musicians in the indie rock and electronic music scenes.
