Jonathan Rolling is singer-songwriter who has a good taste for high quality music and performance. He is now in the process of putting in the hours and doing the work required of a professional artist; mostly because it's become abundantly clear to him that music is something he must do.

 With that acceptance has come a lot of excitement and fear. It's a great thing to think that one has what it takes to have a viable career in music, and another thing to believe it so deeply that he or she subconsciously sabotages all other forms of stability. Good thing he doesn’t do that.

 His style is influenced by early 2000 singer songwriters like Jack Johnson, John Mayer, and Jason Mraz, as well as several other rock bands of the same time.  While staying true to his influences, he is also continually pushing himself to create a sound that is genuine, unique - and frankly just cool - all at the same time . A surprisingly large amount of artist find a genre or a style and get comfortable or try too hard to be something that they aren’t, and come off as disingenuous in the process. He’s not trying to reinvent the wheel, but he is attempting to truly do his own thing with elements of pop, folk, rock, and hip hop.

 In that regard he aspires to modern successes like Jake Bugg, Ed Sheeran, Hoizer, Atmosphere, J-Cole, Vance Joy, and Ben Howard in terms of musical quality and content. His underlying belief is that the best promotion will always be great quality, and that an artist and his music must truly be great in order to survive in the modern market. Fortunately he's up to the challenge. Less
