About
Alongside his work as a teacher, Jonathon has a huge wealth of experience in the music industry that he brings to his lessons. After starting to learn music at a very early age, he formed his first band at sixteen, with whom he would sign his first recording contract shortly after leaving school. Their self produced EP was played on XFM, distributed in major record stores throughout Europe, and received healthy write ups from the international music press as they toured the UK extensively.
As a songwriter and session guitar player, Jonathon’s work with Dan Clews has been broadcast on BBC Radio 2 by the legendary Bob Harris; signed by George Martin Publishing (The Beatles); reviewed by Mojo, Uncut and the Observer; and has achieved countless national radio playlistings.
As a producer, Jonathon has also experienced success, with his work achieving record of the week status on BBC Introducing, and featured by Tom Robinson on his BBC new music show.
