BIO

Jon is a composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist from Alberta Canada. He has spent much of the last two decades working with sound in various forms. From performing with bands, to teaching, to running a freelance recording studio, he has experience in many different realms of the audio world. His interest in music began when he was young, as his parents would often gift him and his siblings with tapes, CD’s, and eventually, the hallowed Nintendo 64. From there, he began to teach himself drums, bass, guitar, and piano.

After deciding to pursue music as a career, Jon began attending MacEwan University in Edmonton Alberta. Though he entered as a drummer and received a diploma, Jon’s passion for composing drove him to continue his studies. Eventually he completed a bachelor's degree in music composition. In his time studying composition, Jon learned how to arrange, write, and orchestrate for many different types of ensembles including: jazz combo, pop bands, big bands, and full orchestra. During his time at MacEwan, Jon performed with various ensembles. Most notably was the MacEwan Percussion Ensemble. While playing for the ensemble, Jon learned to play dozens of new instruments. His time at MacEwan led him to gain interest in music technology. From there he acquired an understanding of the fundamentals of sound.
