About Me

JONNY LEXUS.Then... I was born, and from that point on started getting older, i did most of my growing up in Yorkshire, but a fair bit elsewhere too, sometime in the 80s i saw Pete Townshend on the Woodstock film and decided here was the job for me, so i took up the guitar, played in bands, left school, discovered jumping around in fields to repetitive beats, went to live in Manchester, played in bands, moved to London, played in other bands, went mildly insane, moved back to Manchester, played in bands, got into nightclub promotions and a bit of remixing, tried my hand at producing a couple of things for mates, managed to blag doing some dodgy jingles on prime time itv, and before i knew it... it was... Now... I'm a musician / remixer / producer based in Manchester, UK. In the last few years I'm proud to say I've worked with Elbow, Melanie (SubSub) Williams, Stephen Fretwell, DJ Deval, Bone-Box, UR Penetrators, DoubleJohnGrey, Liam Frost and The Slowdown Family, Joe Roberts, El Presidente and many more... ...I want to work with you... and i WILL REMIX FOR FOOD...Contact - [email protected] (coming soon...) jonnylexus.com + jonnylexus.co.uk
