Sara Bezou – President of SAVED is a Registered Nurse who’s first experience with helping others in need started as a teenager, when her father was tragically and permanently paralyzed.  Sara’s belief in God is what has helped her and her family to press on through tough times and loss. Her goal with SAVED is to inform people through music, writing and other media that there is a light at the end of every tunnel.  Her message — Press on with the guidance and love of our lord and savior.

Jason Bezou – Jason Bezou grew up literally surrounded by jazz and funk greats of his hometown, New Orleans. Taking to the stage himself as a young singer, he galvanized live audiences with the band Pilot, where he met the studio musicians who performed on the BEATING THE STREET sessions. An entrepreneur and Certified Financial Planner TM professional (CFP®), Jason was inspired by Hurricane Katrina to write SAVED: ONE MAN’S SALVATION THROUGH HURRICANE KATRINA, a book about his family’s struggle and his own spiritual transformation as a result of the storm, and to co-write the lyrics and music to all songs on BEATING THE STREET.

Wayne Williamson – Wayne is the ultimate entrepreneur, having started, failed, succeeded, failed again, succeeded in a number of businesses including Staffing, which he is once again involved with his wife Kathy.  As a Christian, Wayne believes God has given him a talent to grow businesses and succeed. Armed with the proceeds of these endeavors, Wayne believes in those who are called to go out and proclaim the gospel around the world and blesses them with the means to do so.  He was fascinated by the talent and heart of Jason and volunteered to help him launch his book and music.  “Praise the Lord for Jason and his message.”
