Jason Mraz is opening up about his experience on Dancing With the Stars so far. We sat down with the 46-year-old Grammy award-winning musician and got the scoop on what it’s been like on the competition series, what he didn’t expect when starting and using his musical background to help on the ballroom. Jason is paired up with pro dancer Daniella Karagach, and for their first dance, they landed towards the top of the leaderboard, earning 21 out of 30 points.
