Jon’s family grew up with music. As a child, his parents put their HiFi headphones on him so he could listen to his dad’s stereo – one of the best at the time. Records, tapes, CD, Mini-Disk, and now MP3s have always been a part of Jon’s life.
At the age of 4, Jon was already singing solos. Shortly after, he joined choir, which he participated in for over 12 years. In the early 2000s, he bought his first mixer and started mixing tracks with his little brother James in their basement. He has been most heavily influenced by R&B, Gospel, Hip-Hop, Electronic, and Pop music. In those basement mix sessions, he would often fuse Chant with downtempo beats for exciting new styles and record them onto MiniDisks. But even as the Minidisk era faded, his love for music didn’t.
