Jon Sandman

“Expect to be washed with an abundance of atmospheric harmonies, pulsating textural synth details and respectably catchy, chant-like, indie-folk melodies.” - Indie Top 39

From a rich and deep baritone to delicate harmonies, the diction and weight of Jon's brooding vocal delivery is the perfect vessel for his introspective and literate songwriting. With lyrics that flow like poetry, Jon likes to nestle his dark sense of humour in irony and wordplay, building verses, choruses and vamps like a dot-to-dot. His eccentric range of acoustic, orchestral and electronic influences means that no two songs might sound the same.

Jon has new music coming in 2022, starting with single &#39;<a href="spotify:album:22avsErhzsUzwMHrGeC57M" data-name="Dear Friends">Dear Friends</a>&#39; - a energetic and emotional sorry note to his neglected loved ones.

Jon studied Acoustical Engineering at Southampton University, during which he wrote and recorded his debut EP &#39;<a href="spotify:album:6DYkdrJmzIgRDaHslnZeF5" data-name="Plans">Plans</a>&#39;. Since then, he has joined the R&amp;D team at legendary analogue audio console manufacturer SSL - the perfect environment to develop and refine his music production skills.
