About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Littleton Jones is one of the most promising new singer/songwriters emerging today, with acoustic roots and a unique sound that draws mostly from pop, rock, and folk music. Most engaging is the sense of intimacy in his voice, honesty in his lyrics, and the feeling that his songs are our songs. It's as if he weaved all our life's experiences together with his and gave us a voice to comfort us.Born and raised in the Garden State, Littleton Jones has been performing both solo and with a band since 2003, primarily in the New York/New Jersey Metropolitan area. In 2005, Jones relocated to Los Angeles where he is currently working on the follow-up to his debut cd Somewhere Deep Inside . Since the release of Somewhere Deep Inside in 2003, seven out of the twelve tracks have been featured in Broadjam's Top 10. Three tracks have charted in the Top 40 at Garageband.com. Littleton Jones received an Honor Award in the 2003 Great American Song Contest for his fiery Latin-flavored pop rock tune, One Thing You Lack. His single, Falling , a sultry pop rock ballad, was the Second Place Winner in the December 2004 MakeAStar.com Song Contest. Littleton Jones has been a Featured Artist on THE LA MUSIC PIPELINE, the on-air weekly Rock Radio show on big-FM (the No.1 CHR Radio Broadcast Network in Europe/Germany).Jones also writes for other artists. His first and only Christmas song was released in December 2005 by a very peculiar Brit named Lord Weatherby . The song, Santa Claus Is Freaking Me Out, has won numerous awards including Grand Prize Winner of the 2005 Nashville International Christmas Song Contest and First Place Winner (Comedy/Novelty) of the 2006 USA Songwriting Competition.Congratulations!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 1/9/2005
Influences: I draw from EVERYWHERE. Whatever music goes IN usually comes OUT when there's an acoustic guitar in my hands. I'm influenced more by individual SONGS as opposed to specific BANDS. My favorite band is the DAVE MATTHEWS BAND. One of my all-time favorite songs is WHAT YOU WON'T DO FOR LOVE by Bobby Caldwell. My first album was BREAKFAST IN AMERICA by Supertramp. When I was growing up in the 80's, I loved MICHAEL JACKSON but could not do the MOONWALK. I did, however, learn to do the RUNNING MAN in the 90's while watching BOBBY BROWN. My sister CHERI introduced me to PINK FLOYD before I went to college. Before my soccer games, I would listen to WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE by Guns N' Roses. When I was heavy into CHRISTIANITY I loved JARS OF CLAY. Perhaps my favorite album of all-time is ANYBODY OUT THERE? by Burlap To Cashmere. STEVEN DELOPOULOS is one of my best friends. He's in my FRIENDS LIST between my gorgeous girlfriend EMI and my other best friend SETH PAULUS. Seth and his roommate RANDY AUSTIN produced my first album SOMEWHERE DEEP INSIDE. Randy loves PETER GABRIEL and plays keyboards in an LA rock band called POETS AND PORNSTARS. Lately, I've been listening a lot to a British rock band called MOKE. The next album I would like to buy is CORINNE BAILEY RAE. Years ago, I had planned to buy Anthology by the BEASTIE BOYS but never got around to it. JOHNNY CASH is really cool. I'm going to bed now.
Sounds Like: The bastard son of James Taylor and Madonna, torn between which parent to please most.
Record Label: Unsigned
Type of Label: None
