I’m Jason D’Orazio — a lifelong music obsessive with a particular love for new wave and ‘80s music. My earliest memory of the genre was hearing Cyndi Lauper’s Girls Just Wanna Have Fun in 1984, back when I was just a kid. From sneaking my big sister’s cassettes to late-night Napster deep dives in college, new wave has always been part of my soundtrack. Synth & Swagger is where I get to share that passion — through stories, analysis, and creative projects that bring the era back to life.
