Editing Jason Collett (section)

==Broken Social Scene==
It was his work with [[Broken Social Scene]] that allowed Collett to give up woodworking and become a full-time musician. Collett became a member of Broken Social Scene, serving as one of their guitarists, after the band’s album ''[[You Forgot It In People]]''. Collett was eventually convinced by [[Kevin Drew]] to join the band once they moved from a strictly instrumental band into one that wrote their own songs.

Though Collett took a break from touring with Broken Social Scene in the fall of 2005 to pursue his solo career and spend time with his family, Collett has made many musical connections through the band. His 2005 album, ''[[Idols of Exile]]'', produced by [[Howie Beck]], featured many prominent Canadian artists. Broken Social Scene’s [[Kevin Drew]], [[Leslie Feist]] and [[Brendan Canning]] all contributed, as did members of bands [[Stars (Canadian band)|Stars]] and [[Metric (band)|Metric]].
