Joint Winner of South African 'Idols' 2009 Jason Hartman has been chosen to support 'American Idol' Kelly Clarkson during her South African leg of her 'All I Ever Wanted' global tour powered by 5FM.

Locally, the tour starts on Friday 12th March at the Coca-Cola Dome in Johannesburg, before moving into the ICC Durban Arena on Sunday 14th March and finally Cape Town at the Grand Arena, GrandWest on Wednesday 17th March 2010.

'Idols' fans already know a large part of Jason Hartman's musical gifts: the 29-year-old made such an impression with his singing and performing that in May 2009, he was named the co-winner of this year's incarnation of the global talent search. But 'Idols' only gave a small window into Hartman's dazzling array of talents — which together make him as exciting an artist as any who have emerged out of South Africa's five 'Idols' seasons.

Jason's debut album 'On The Run' is a 13-track album which he wrote himself and played many of the instruments on the record and music industry insiders believe this is just the beginning for this super talented South African Idol.

Kelly Clarkson was the first to prove that winning 'Idols' can catapult a music career to world-wide success.

She has sold more than 20 million albums since her 2002 'American Idol' debut. Her current 'All I Ever Wanted' release shattered records, with the lead single 'My Life Would Suck Without You'.

The song earned Clarkson her first #1 single in the UK. Concert attendees can expect to hear the latest hits from the tour's namesake album, along with her signature pop anthems such as 'Since U Been Gone' and 'Because of You'.

Jason is extremely excited to support Kelly. "It's a great honour to be given this opportunity," he said. "I think that Kelly is a phenomenal performer and I'm really looking forward to touring with her on her first visit to our beautiful country South Africa."
