About Me

I am 21 and have just started my second year at the University of Sheffield, where I am doing a BMus degree, and it's a lovely city. I grew up in Devon, and spent as much time as possible down the beach or up on Dartmoor. My family and friends are a big part of my life, everything I do is linked with them. As anyone who knows me will testify I tend to ramble, and make very little sense when trying to say important things. Somehow putting it all down in the form of lyrics and music makes it so much easier! All these tracks were recorded in the Music Departments studios by Simon Dipple, who is the most sensitive sound engineer I have ever had the good fortune to work with. They are taken from my first demo called "This time last year..." Any questions just ask. Peace and God bless Jon x MyGen Profile Generator
