About Me

During the heydays of the Cold War nowhere near the CCCP or the GDR a child of Scandinavian decent made his ascent unto this world. Twenty some years later Jonathan Bergquist is now a man of stature with a colorful collection of accomplishments. In 2005 inadvertently inspired by “The Nomi Song” a documentary on Klaus Nomi, Jonathan started a club promotion and booking company in Orlando, FL called Pandora’s Box. Since then he has worked with nearly fifty recording artists including Freezepop, Joy Electric, System Syn, Joshua Bradford and Femme Fatality.
