Jason Weaver

Jason Weaver is an American actor and singer who first gained wide recognition as a child performer, most notably providing the singing voice of young Simba in Disney's animated film The Lion King, including the song «I Just Can't Wait to Be King». That role introduced his voice to a global audience and remains the work he is most closely associated with.

Alongside his acting career, which spanned television and film roles through the 1990s, Weaver pursued music with an R&B and pop sensibility, releasing recordings that showcased a smooth, soulful vocal style typical of the era's youth-oriented R&B. His output includes both ballads and uptempo material, often built around romantic themes and polished, radio-friendly production.

Weaver's dual path as actor and singer places him among performers who bridged Hollywood family entertainment and contemporary R&B in the 1990s, and his contribution to The Lion King soundtrack in particular has given his singing voice lasting recognition well beyond his broader recording catalog.
