Jason Sellers (born March 4, 1971) is an American country music artist. After several years of touring the United States in his family's band, Sellers joined the road band of Ricky Skaggs. By 1997, he was signed to a recording contract with BNA Records, for whom he recorded two studio albums: 1997's I'm Your Man and 1999's A Matter of Time. These two albums produced five singles on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts; each album's title track reached Top 40 on that chart. Although he has not recorded any albums since A Matter of Time, Jason has had continued success as a songwriter, with acts such as Lonestar, Kenny Chesney, and Montgomery Gentry having recorded his songs. In addition, he holds several credits as a session background vocalist.
Jason Sellers was born March 4, 1971 in Gilmer, Texas. His musical beginnings were as a member of his family's gospel music group, the Singing Sellers, which toured throughout the Western United States. Between 1991 and 1997, he was married to Lee Ann Womack, with whom he had one daughter, Aubrie Lee Sellers (born 1991).
Sellers moved to Nashville, Tennessee while still in his late teens. He then persuaded Vince Gill to allow him to play bass guitar in Gill's road band when the band's regular bassist was unavailable. Gill then recommended Sellers to Billy Joe Royal, in whose band Sellers soon became bassist. Afterward, Sellers moved to Ricky Skaggs' road band, also becoming a songwriter and road manager for Skaggs. While with Skaggs, Sellers also worked on his songwriting skills, and had songs recorded by Pam Tillis, Lonestar and Wade Hayes.
