About Me

After growing up listening to jazz, playing the saxophone, bass, and becoming immersed in electronic music in the mid-late nineties, DJing was the next step.Years later, playing sax with an experimental band called noface rekindled the desire to pick up playing again. The sax made its way over techno-based DJ sets as well as housier affairs. The live musical element has been well received, with crowds able to feel a personal connection to the DJ as a musician and a performer.Collaborations with other producers have yielded some fun results, and the future will see more solo tracks from Jon. Stay tuned...
