About Me

'allo!
My name's Jonnie. I write songs, occasionally perform them and even more occasionally rope various kind hearted and talented individuals in to helping me perform them.

Until recently, I’ve been recording and producing my songs in a small room on a budget that just about covered a can of coke and packet of crisps. At the end of last year, I decided to extend the budget to cover beer and coffee which proved to be just enough to lure the nocturnal genius Mark Stoney down from Sheffield to weave some production magic. A few outrageously late nights later and we have the early rumblings of an album which should blossom towards the end of summer.

On weekends, I like to dress up to take my place as J5 in TMD feat J5, an indie / house collaboration with Tha Manz Dem. In 2005, the relationship birthed the remix of ‘so in love’ which enjoyed numerous plays on radio one and a bit part in the soundtrack of Eastenders. The track was licensed by Hed Kandi in 2006 and found its way on to a few compilations (see below).

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to listen, it’s really appreciated. If you’re looking for some (more) excellent music, please check out Mark Stoney .
