Jonathon Robins

When he was in grade school, Jonathon Robins taught himself to sing on a toy karaoke machine. He practiced between the time he got home from school and the time his parents got home from work. At the age of twenty-two he entered and won a radio contest that landed him his first gig, singing the national Anthem to a crowd of 40,000 at an Atlanta Falcons football game. He spent the next few years honing his songwriting and stage-craft by attending Atlanta’s best songwriter open mic nights at venues such as Eddies Attic (John Mayer, Shawn Mullins, the Civil Wars). During the day he worked on finding an online audience. After some trial and error he began building a fan-base on Youtube by posting live performances of cover songs in a variety of unconventional settings. A recent video of Jonathon performing an Adele cover in an empty parking lot garnered over 200,00 views. Jonathon’s musical style is rooted in classic soul music but often wanders into the realm of contemporary pop and country music. His musical idols include Sam Cooke, Amos Lee and Chris Martin. Jonathon has been steadily releasing studio recordings of his original work since 2013 . His most recent single “Here for You” released in 2015 was picked up by the film “First World Dates” and is featured in the trailer. The film is slated for release this summer. This year he won a nomination for the 2016 Georgia Music Awards. Jonathon writes about his hopes, dreams and personal battles. He finds what’s universal in his own story so he can better connect with his listeners. After an intense lock-out recording session at Degraw Sound recordings studio in Brooklyn, New York with producer Harper James, Jonathon released his first ever EP "Trouble".
