A Very Pleasant Person is a pet project of sorts. After several other music projects, including Urban Funk Monkeys, Strike of the Heart and more recently The Jared Project, this debut solo album contains songs written over the span of a decade. Finally out of the basement, through the dorm room, down from the apartment and into the studio. Filled with catchy melodies with a pop/rock flare. This album, in some ways, chronicles Jared Mancuso's first ventures into songwriting and takes us all the way up through present day.
