jon statham

After attending Berklee College of Music in Boston Jon set out to hone his songwriting skills playing clubs with his heavy rock band 5lb. Opinion and coffeehouses with his acoustic songs in upstate New York. In 2000, he moved  to Los Angeles to pursue his artistic goals. Within one year he began writing with Latin pop star Alejandro Lerner from Argentina and recently had his song "Texas Bloom" placed in the upcoming DVD film "Once Upon A Time In Cuba". In June 2005, Jon traveled to Nashville at the invite of Wayne Carson, the Country Music Hall of Fame Inductee and writer of "Always On My Mind" and a dozen other hits. The two walked in to RPM music on Music Row with Jon's new recordings. Before listening, Wayne had the floor: "Boys, there's something here with this guy that you won't find anywhere else. This boy's special and reminds me a lot of myself when I was younger." When the toetapping commenced, it was agreed that RPM would be accepting more material from Jon as well looking for country artists to record his songs. Jon's current 3 song CD release has, through only word of mouth and at twice a week shows, has sold 2500 thus far. NO magazine or radio promotion. People hear it, they like it, they buy it.
