Hooked on videogames ever since his father brought home their first personal computer to the household, Jonathan dove deeper into music creation as a long time wish to work in the Games Industry grew stronger.

After years of hard work and learning all aspects of the trade, Jonathan turned his long time dream into an official full-time job as composer for various videogame franchises.
