A cultivar of Apple, a cross between Golden Delicious and Jonathan. They form a large sweet fruit with a thin skin. However because of their large size they are not now favoured by commercial growers in many parts of the world. A triploid, and as such not only requires a second type of apple for pollen but are also incapable of providing pollen for other trees.
my name is darrin but i am the 21 year old boy from Utah that they call "jonasgold" (the pleasure is all mine).
jonasgold because darrin jamie clark isn't a good country music name and because Loch Ness Monster just didn't work very well.
i wanted to do stand up but i wasn't funny enough so i'm sticking to failing at just this.
Most whine about missing California i'm bitching about living in Utah.
Someday it may be possible i make music that's actually worth listening to.
And i try really hard to come up with choruses between the rambling and incoherent verses.
i play an electric organ and it has a weird sound.
Most of my instruments were bought at second hand stores.
Google related my music to blood banks and western wear.
i learned to play piano from watching an informative program shown during the PBS donation drive.
90% of what i write is true and pretty much journal entries set to music. i write lyrics that may be offputting to some.
The other 10% are short stories.
If i knew how to lie then i would be a good songwriter.
It probably won't make much sense half the time, but that's just proof my life is different than most peoples. Also i can write whatever i want.
i play video games alot but i never use cheat codes.
jona(s)gold is derived from my love for apples and Apple Computers, only i added an 's' in the middle.
So of my main instruments have an Apple Computers sticker on them.
i love my girlfriend Marla more than anything. She helps me write about happy things.
jonasgold is 3 years old now;
i promise new stuff is coming.
i didn't like any of the old recordings i had so i'm doing all new stuff that will come in the next couple months.

Life effects everyone. Whether you live a quiet life and become a nice person, keeping your boots clean and out of the waste of everyones problems.
Or you're like me and you tread your way through shit storm after shit storm not seeing where you're going or how to get out of it. And by 30 you're already a bitter old man/woman who hates the world.

i hope to change my view and become the nice quiet kind.
Or maybe i just need to get a better umbrella and jacket.

Alot of people tell me i'm an asshole. And a disillusioned failure with a mental disorder.
