Jason Hartley is a writer, musician, and online marketer based in Decatur, Georgia. Originally from Columbia, SC, Hartley's career has been as varied and unpredictable as some of the luminaries he writes about. His artistic and professional endeavors have taken him from the study of dance and choreography at the American Dance Festival, Dance Space Inc., and Movement Research, to professional catalog writing for the likes of Martha Stewart. Hartley also has written, performed, and recorded music professionally in Spigot, Toenut/Tyro, and Thank You Super among other bands. In his spare time, Jason has always been a writer--of nonfiction, novels, and short humor. His writing has been published in Esquire, Spin.com, VH1's Best Week Ever blog, and on his own website, advancedtheory.blogspot.com.
