About Me |
|
| Known for thought provoking lyrics and a unique, creative style, Jonahs came into this world with a desire to change it for the better. His musical aspirations began while in college where Jonahs used music as an escape from the rigors of academia. It was not uncommon for Jonahs to uninhibitedly speak his mind while performing rough and unrehearsed musical ramblings at open-mic sessions, coffee shops, or house parties in Logan, Utah.While in college, Jonahs took advantage of summer breaks to travel the world. His vagabond wanderings include trips through Spain, France, Great Brittan, Equator, Peru, Mexico, Canada, Alaska, and countless lonely highways of the American West. Jonahs drew inspiration for song writing from life on the road, and during his travels he wrote the lyrics to ‘Hitchhiker’, ‘Simplify’, and ‘Fly Away’. While traveling he would avoid the sites frequented by tourists; instead he sought to experience the cultural essence of a place, to meet and understand the people who lived there, and take home a deeper understanding of the world and his role in it.It was on the road, and in the lecture halls of the university he attended, where Jonahs became aware of the seriousness of the problems facing our generation, and our planet. In particular, social injustices associated with ethnicity, class, and/or economic status. Jonahs has been especially influenced by witnessing preventable ecological degradation caused greedy corporations, industrial polluters, unchecked suburban expansion, a general disregard for the intricate balance of nature, and by understanding how environmental troubles often result in human suffering. This is apparent in the lyrics to his songs ‘Leave It All Behind’, ‘Common Understanding’, and ‘Restless Hope’. |
