ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Always driven by his desire to explore new sound perspectives and ideas,
Jona has forged his path into the electronic music scene by consistently
bringing exciting and forward-thinking music. He developed his own unique
sound, incorporating a wide range of styles into his work.
At first a guitarist during his teens, largely influenced by blues and jazz, he
gradually became familiar with the twists and turns of music theory and studio
recording. He was later drawn to house and techno, and immersed himself
into this entire new thrilling sound. Graduated not long after from the School
of Audio Engineering, his passion lead him to start writing and producing what
would then become his very first records.
When discovered by Get Physical in 2005, Jona started getting worldwide
recognition and saw his dj career boost. Invited to spin in clubs and festivals
across the world, from Singapore's Zouk to Berlin's Watergate, he refined his
sets by always breaking boundaries and exploring new ideas to make the
dance floor spark.
Amongst critically acclaimed releases, "Take Five", an inspired
reinterpretation of the classic jazz piece by Dave Brubeck, showed yet again
another of Jona's particular soundscapes where he demonstrates his ability
to mix genres while building idiosyncratic melodies within a track. "Altiplano",
released on Detroit label Planet E, also marked a milestone and remains to
this day one of his most successful projects.
