Jonathan or (JJ) as he is known to his friends was raised in a Christian home and began
performing at a very early age. His mother taught piano and played in their Gospel group
"The Blenders". His father was the vocalist for the group. Jonathan began learning
the piano and was playing by the age of five. He would perform in church talent shows
and in his mother's piano recitals. He attended school at the Victoria Elementary &
Lunenburg Primary schools where he also performed in talent shows.
Around the age of eight, Jonathan learned to play the bass guitar and around the age of ten
he was playing with a local gospel group "The Gospel Messengers. Around the age of thirteen
he joined his school band under the direction of the band leader "Dennis Snead" where he
learned to play Trombone. His band went on to win state competitions in Richmond Virginia.
At the age of fifteen Jonathan was intrigued with the guitar and being home-schooled
through his high school years, he had a lot of spare time to practice and learn new
instruments. During those years he taught himself to play drums and went on to play
with his first gigging band "Rough Stock" based out of Victoria. This is also the age
where Jonathan met the love of his life who would soon become his wife.
During that period he still had a lingering interest in learning more on the guitar. With the
help and guidance of local musician & family friend "Franklin Smith" he learned to play
rhythm guitar. Still wanting to know more he worked with another close friend
"David Vaughan" who guided him and this is where he started to create his own style
of playing on the guitar.
