The Vintage DJ
Jonathan’s alter-ego, The Vintage DJ, is part super-hero, part DJ. After all, DJs need to be super heroes in order to 'save lives.' Armed with twin tube-powered classroom record players and only original vinyl, The Vintage DJ spins a mouth-watering selection of mid-twentieth century Jazz, Latin, Soul, R&B, Rock ’n’ Roll, Reggae and much more. The Vintage DJ harnesses music to create one-of-a-kind magical experiences for weddings, secret soirées, dance parties, launches and virtual events.

Writing & Teaching
Whether he's conjuring his next children's book or penning an out-of-the-box adventure for the stage, Jonathan is always telling stories. Music is often the inspiration for his artistic process, whether writing alone, collaborating with others or interviewing fellow artists about their writing practice.
