What Happened to Idol's Dreadlocked Jason Castro?

[@EarthAngelinKC]

Wow, Jason Castro is all grown up and living his life with so much purpose. Great story of inspiration. Many blessings to him and his beautiful family.

[@carolchristian3590]

What a sweet genuine young man - very refreshing.

[@kasanj]

Always liked this kid. Nice to see he's become an asset to humanity.

[@Rakel6784]

Fame is not for everyone..He's an amazing guy who wants to make a difference❤🙏

[@masterseafood]

His little daughter is so adorable!!

[@sambrina8159]

and she has daddy eyes

[@graesson]

With the dreds gone he immediately reminded me of a young John Travolta with that luminous smile. Happy for him in finding his way in life and in serving others.

[@DeannaBrownlee]

He's just so . . . so . . . pretty! But he doesn't even think about that. He's just humble and friendly. Nice to everybody. Seems like a really good guy.

[@bethlamenskie8527]

Yes, he is gorgeous!!!

[@brentzchannel9641]

We still listen to Jason Castro with his wonderful music ...🇵🇭

[@brittw.2863]

I love how he remained humble and craved God, even after he started falling away from Him

[@overbitegirl]

What a beautiful voice. What a beautiful soul

[@claudiuskeat8336]

I always liked this guy. now I love him.

[@momjnx]

Such an amazing young man. The best to him and his family always.

[@eunectes75]

He has such a addicting captivating way of speaking.. and singing of course. really interesting person to listen to.

[@Duthy200]

I feel what you do is so important and awsome. I did root for you on american idol. But you have done so much beyound that. Golden buzzer for you!❤

[@lizkaye]

Shallow as it sounds, I miss his dreads!

[@andreavalasquez8589]

yeah me too

[@aliasmith0425]

me too.

[@flyingpenguin3668]

The dreads made him recognizable.

[@NJ-pz6vz]

i still can't get over his dreads... hahaha... but im so happy for him... love jason castro

[@skatergirl222]

I love his faith!

[@maryellenharvey9890]

I was just sitting wondering what became of Jason, and OMGNESS, he’s a dad, husband, music ministry, marriage ministry, May God continue to bless every step! This blessed me so so much!!

[@paulapwrm]

Wow, I loved this. While I'm not religious myself, I have great respect for Jason, and can appreciate that "fame and money" isn't what's important in life. Best of luck to you and your family, and I will continue to be a fan. Love your voice and music....and especially those eyes!

[@mercyferrer1287]

a sensible guy with a heart!

[@marijkedewet3745]

I fell inlove with him on Idols. Stopped watching Idols for ever when he was voted out. You have to SEE his face while he is singing, you cannot just listen. He is absolutely amazing. I'll be a fan forever, no matter what genre he sings.

[@NJ-pz6vz]

yeah... watching him in idol is like seeing an angel descend from heaven... an amazing work of God..

[@NoteFromSELF]

"Idols?" Who calls it "Idols?"

[@felicia4017]

To be honest I`d actually would one day like to find someone like him.

[@elevationlyricss182]

He goes to my church in Lakepoint he is amazing

[@sheriwhispers]

+elevationlyrics s Well then tell him I personally cant stand so called Christian music that sounds like Im riding in a elevator .. No anointing .

[@skatergirl222]

@@elevationlyricss182 Come to Core church Los Angeles this Sunday June 23rd 2019..and see Jason Castro from American Idol!!! He 's still singing .. For Jesus! Former American Idol singer songwriter Jason Castro will be with us at all 3 of our services this Sunday June 23rd! Invite someone and come join us for an awesome time of worship!

[@jrscoggins1977]

Gosh how I love the Castro family! Y'all make me happy!

[@iamremmie]

god bless this dude ❤️❤️

[@Kariannhopes]

After 14 years of American Idol, Jason Castro remains my #1 favorite Idol. He's such a good guy and filled with the Holy Spirit. God bless you and bring many more wonderful things!

[@silverbreezeRn]

Glad to see that he is living an inspirational life. I've always liked his voice, and those beautiful eyes and sweet smile. He's gorgeous.

[@VALLIGIRL16002]

What a special person. So happy to see he's got it all together and is still singing.

[@brittanyreno463]

We go to the same church and I’ve seen him during one of our worship services up on stage with our church’s band

[@johndisette8308]

What a genuine , real , humble sweet guy.....i wish him the best of luck in whatever he chooses to do , he will be successful.....good job kid.

[@sherlynn65]

I love it Jason! The fact that you gave up "the glam life" for the ministry of Christ....you are just one more reason why I love to hear to Castro family sing. I remember you on Idol... but I know what you mean about having a longing for God in your life and feeling like you are far from him and where he wants us to be. So proud of you... your wife and daughter are beautiful!!! God Bless.

[@1ofakindla]

Awesome testimony! EVERYTHING works when we put GOD first!!! JESUS WINS!!!

[@frankie7033]

1ofakindla amen

[@dilmah3669]

amazing voice!! His little daughter is so adorable

[@thr33wisemonks]

What a beautiful person. So close to god. God is his strength. God bless him and guide him.

[@kaith151]

This is how it’s done!! God first .... No matter what. Keep it up... im proud of you Jason.

[@NJ-pz6vz]

seeing jason now after his American Idol stint brought tears to my eyes. your a good man jason...God bless you more!!

[@reasonable15]

Some really great people came from AI season seven! I loved Jason, David C, David A, Brooke, Carly, and Michael Johns. Nice to hear about Jason, thanks.

[@breeannapalato2407]

Right! I think it was the best, most diverse season. Such talented ppl that year. David C. is incredible. I loved Jason's tone. Its sad about Michael passing away tho. All and all that was my fav season

[@Celestria]

I like him even more after watching this. and I like his hair better now

[@starsnmoon49]

Beautiful boy, now a beautiful man. I listen to his CD's in my truck all the time. When he sang "Over the Rainbow' on Idol, I felt it 'zing' through my whole body and I was hooked as a fan. Loved the dreads, but love the new haircut too. My son had dreads at the time - that could have had something to do with it, lol. Good luck, Jason! You are an amazing man.

[@amaninamaria5983]

Just the kind of guy I need

[@graacelk]

Guys! Go check out the EP him, Michael, and Jackie released if you haven't! It's SO good! It's called Diamond Dreams.

[@Mothman1882]

I saw him live in a small town concert. Cool dude, really cute, spiritual and full of faith. His music is awesome, high suggest supporting him.

[@swardie]

This is so wonderful

[@jojonas4125]

I like his new haircut! I think it looks awesome!

[@azboxers]

Handsome young man. LOVED his hair. I am a 70's kid. I wish him well. He is awesome.

[@gurlrockz31]

I specifically looked for you jason to see whats up. Im glad you headed on right direction. Im happy for you.

[@bassfamily7606]

So happy for you Jason...God Bless You !

[@komickaze85]

He seems like a great person. He's doing a lot of good with his talent. I'm not really into Christian music, but he might be able to be up there in the Christian charts. I wish him the best of luck and hope he isn't forgotten. I just can't believe he cut off his dreads. Now he looks more like Justin Bieber than someone more edgy-looking.

[@terrybuckalew6874]

God is the only way God guide him such a nice voice

[@terrybuckalew6874]

if it be thy will

[@c.r.8289]

I had the privilege to see Jason years ago. He had a concert at Golden Hills in Brentwood, CA, with Matthew West! They are both amazing young men of God! I pray that they both have continued success! Keep God first, and the music will keep flowing! ❤❤

[@blondie4498229]

Wow. What an awesome young man. God bless him.

[@leeonni72]

God Bless you Jason, so glad you found the best path for you

[@roniblue66]

What a fantastic human being.I wish him love and happines for him and his family and in everything he does god bless x

[@dorisjohns8124]

Beautiful soul.

[@dannadanielle]

I miss Jason Castro soo much and I'm happy for whatever makes him happy. I just want to believe that we can always serve God wherever we are. I wish that Jason will not stop sharing his talent to us. I believe that Jason is one of the instruments of God to give the people JOY. With the coolness of his voice, I find peace. With his youthful music, I find myself smiling. His facial expressions and reactions during his interviews makes me laugh and all the memories that lingers about Jason makes my heart's grow fonder and it's LOVE from GOD. His nature seems all so right. I wish Jason all the best and I hope that he would not leave us. With or without your dreadlocks, we love you Jason Castro. Please continue to make music so can continue to be happy.

[@acscrazylife7068]

daniela danielle .

[@txsilvertoy]

I think what Jason is doing is so awesome!! Spreading the WORD of Christ.......being an example of what to be and not doing the things of this world! Peace be with you and may GOD be a blessing to you and your family :-)

[@lindac5652]

Love him singing this. So glad to find out he is living a Godly life. Prayers go up to you.

[@agrey2986]

Well from a religious standpoint, thats the best decision and if it makes him happy more power to him. I am not that religious although Christian, if I was a pop star I would have burning crosses behind me (Madonna).

[@raymuncy22]

Not many things make me smile these days. This did

[@barbecuekat]

Way to go! God bless you.

[@Beegeee40]

Good choice... with everything I hear about "Hollyweird" I don't blame him for not wanting any part of their craziness. I can't imagine him twerking - sticking his tongue out -- he was way too good for AI. Great to hear he is doing well. :)

[@agrey2986]

Beegeee40 That would be straight up sad if that happened.

[@Praben]

I remember I liked him during the idol run. I remember his brother the following year, but sadly didn't get picked to top 24.

[@ourdreams9130]

GOD BLESS Jason Castro

[@brinamarie9525]

BEAUTIFUL BABIES!!!

[@brinamarie9525]

I wish I could’ve seen what the wife looks like. They all look so happy together.

[@darrylsibal1142]

i looking forward of singing praise song with him in the future...what can i say, im a fan...

[@alyssa-lm8yd]

[@IamKayRenee]

Still gorgeous!!

[@pegstoodley7098]

Congratulations, Jason. You're right on target! May God continue to bless you and all those you love.

[@normalopezingle7732]

What a great story. You should be so proud of yourself.

[@paetthasikhorvj2723]

GREAT DECISION! GOD BLESS YOU!!! :)

[@britneycarron7854]

Love him!!

[@StarBright1976]

What a great story. I loved him on American Idol and so happy to hear he is serving and following the LORD!

[@1katiemack]

This was an awesome, awesome interview. They are such a talented God Loving family, their parents must be so proud.

[@susanlindeborn5565]

awesome, I wondered where he went :)

[@kager1969]

I am not a pious man, yet l respect any mans (or woman's) devotion and commitment to his beliefs and dedication to his family and community. Right on brother.

[@jeaner2966]

I love this guy!!!!!

[@nico3641]

joy, amusement, giver, faith

[@Rainfeather1]

glad he found a place for himself and didnt give up the music .......way better

[@ParanormalResponse]

WHat a great voice. I dont care what you are singing about. I enjoy that instrument!

[@UciBear87]

Bless you Jason. More people need to know the Gospel. Praise the Lord.

[@catsincredulous9998]

Not a fan of dreadlock, but that dude wore it great. Looks great with short hair as well. A very handsome young man!

[@ViviMedBon]

Yeah! Go for it Castro family (siblings). It sounds beautifully!

[@sonnycuaresma9765]

You are now an instrument of God to show his love to the world. God bless you.

[@CarolWorth]

Love Jason forever! God is good. ❤

[@hanidew05]

He looks like John Travolta..

[@jewelpembroke6406]

I knew I adored him then and now I love him even more... I'm going to look up his Christian music now!!

[@reemalabed3694]

Masha'Allah 🙏 I love the way he thinks. Sacrificing fame for a spiritual reason ✌️

[@vickymarlette1468]

Bless your heart Jason, for returning to God.

[@abelchacon7802]

WOW this is such a beautiful story. Thank God for his grace. Showing this young man that the only way to happiness is through the Lord.

[@jennywheeler233]

Glad to see he made good use of his 15 minutes!

[@AuntieFa]

What a pity..

[@bonnieholmes5897]

I LOVE this guy :)

[@quiltie1774]

His sibling group Castro is incredible! I love Rock and Roll, Diamond Dreams.

[@1969ryson]

He saw what was happening to him and said that's enough. Good for him.
