Jonathan Salas has accomplished a lot in his music career for a 20-year-old. In 2004, he gained national attention at the Gospel Music Association's "Music in the Rockies" in Estes Park, Colorado where he and his band won top honors as the "Spotlight Band Grand Prize Winner". Jonathan also won 2nd and 3rd place in the pop/rock songwriting competition with "Check Out 9" and "Summers Fade" while receiving rave reviews from professional songwriters. In addition, Jonathan's guitar playing won second place in the overall instrumental competition.
In March of 2006 a four song EP produced by Peter Kipley (Mercy Me, Robert Randolph, The Afters) and mixed by Reid Shippen (Third Day, Relient K) and Joe Baldridge (dcTalk, TobyMac) was released with "Feel Like Flying" hitting rock radio. In July of 2007 Jonathan was back in the studios with producer Paul Ebersold (3 Doors Down, Sister Hazel, Third Day, Skillet).
When asked about his love of music, Jonathan will tell you "he didn't choose music - music chose him". He started playing piano when he was 4 years old. At 8 years of age, he was playing drums with his church's praise team. He then picked up the guitar at age 12 and then began leading the worship team at age 14. He started producing and writing his own songs that same year. By age 16, Jonathan was traveling with his band on the weekends all over his native South Texas.
A gifted guitarist and songwriter, Jonathan connects with any size audience through his passionate live shows. His musical influences come from legends such as: Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimi Hendrix, James Taylor, Paul McCartney, and Eric Clapton.
