New Track "Lonely Skies" .....Free Downloads!

About Me


Hey everyone! Thanks for stopping by.
So here is the deal! My music is available for download 100% for free. All you have to do is click "Download" right on the Myspace player and you will have my tracks on your computer to burn to CD or put on your iPods/iPhones! I truly hope you will enjoy the music, I am always putting a lot into my tracks. However, as you all know the Myspace player can only hold 6 songs :( so if you want to get some of the tracks that are not available on the Myspace you have to download them off iTunes (see link below). Also if you really want to help me out, if you download a couple songs for free off the Myspace, then go and download one off iTunes consider it a donation to helping indie music! As opposed to a record label taking all the money, you actually are helping me the artist and it is so greatly appreciated! I sincerely hope that you can help take my music and dreams to a new place. Peace
-JM

Jon has already performed and worked with a panoply of L.A.'s finest musicians. "I feel so blessed to have accrued the friendships and accolades I have" Jon states. He is proving himself a true songwriter creating melodies with powerful force and unequivocal grace. Merged with lyrics that are pertaining to his generation, the world, and personal things. Jon hopes to evoke feelings of love, peace, faith, and loss through his music. Jon has had years of performing in and around L.A. with a multitude of different artists. This has been culminating to a consistent flow of studio work as well. Jon did his first session at a grammy award winning studio at the age of 16! Anyone who has had the chance to see Jon live is immediately moved by the way his true love for the music translates in every aspect of his performance.
Jon enjoys surfing and skydiving. In between tours, gigs, recording sessions, and composing, you can find him down at the beach catching some waves just like a typical Californian.
