In this episode of The Rumors Are True Podcast, we sit down with Jason Dunn, founding vocalist of the iconic pop-punk band Hawk Nelson. Jason takes us back to the band’s early days, sharing how a group of friends from Canada found themselves breaking into the Christian rock scene and quickly becoming a staple of youth group playlists everywhere.

Jason opens up about the whirlwind years of constant touring, major label moments, and the stories behind some of Hawk Nelson’s most beloved songs. He also reflects on the personal and creative challenges that shaped his departure from the band and what life has looked like since stepping away from the spotlight.

From hilarious tour memories to honest conversations about faith, friendship, and artistic identity, this episode offers a thoughtful, nostalgic, and refreshingly candid look at a career that impacted an entire generation of listeners. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that longtime fans—and anyone who loves a good behind-the-music story—won’t want to miss.
