Jason Wisdom is an American musician who is the lead vocalist and bass guitarist for the heavy metal band Becoming the Archetype. Though he was born and raised in a Christian home, he states that he was never committed to Christianity until high school.[3] He considers his music as a form of ministry, but wishes to avoid a "preachy" stereotype. His influences include Extol, Living Sacrifice, and Mortification among others.[4] Wisdom notes that even though his music is Christian metal, many of his fans are not Christians and are many times the ones who defend his music.[3] Wisdom left the band in late November 2011 to take care of his family (although he would return to the band in 2022).[5] Though current 7 Horns 7 Eyes frontman, JJ Polachek, tried out, Wisdom was replaced by former live fill in, Chris McCane.[5] He started a solo project titled Death Therapy, which features no guitars.[6][7] He currently works for RYFO, a company that helps musicians with places to stay, meals and other such things.[4][8]
