We had the pleasure to catch up with Jonas at the
Independent Music Show performing with anotherr talented and very busy Artist
Kevin Mark Trail. At a young age Jonas was inspired by Stevie
Wonder’s music. Years later he formed a
band called the Jones and on their second gig they were spotted by Stevie
Wonders manager (Keith Harris) and Peter Smith who produced music for the likes
of Randy Crawford and Sting. Eventual
they were signed to Sony BMG for a world wide deal; sadly the deal only lasted
for one album, when the deal ended Jonas decided to become an Independent solo
Artist. Jonas now has his own record
label and a distribution deal to sell his music, he has never been more
satisfied being able to create his own pathway as an independent Artist and
feels it’s the way forward for a vast majority of Artists, enjoying what you
are doing and making a living from it.. Throughout
his time he has toured around the world and 2008 saw no change, Jonas
clock up some mileage touring over in the USA, Africa, Europe and the
UK; Now in 2009 he continues in the same mode, touring with the likes
of Omar and producing a new Album "Waitt" which will be released this
summer, one of the tracks entitled “Two time love as one” (co-wrote
with the late great Lynden David Hall - BBC News ) has everything you would expect from the man
Jonas, giving you a rich Soulful sound that is ideal for the summer while lounging
in you house, driving your car or kicking back with your headphones on and
keeping it personal. Jonas is a Soulful
accomplished artist; bring to you a mix of Jazz, a twist of Soul, a drop of
blues and blended with Nu-Jazz, producing a sound that has the Jonas stamp on
it.
