Am DOPED that my music will be featured on inflight entertainment for in-bound flights into Singapore! Catch songs like State of my mind, tell me why, misunderstood:

Jul – Air China (radio show “Hit It”) & Singapore Airlines (radio show “New Asia”)
Aug – Bangkok Airways (radio show “Pop Frequency”) & Singapore Airlines
Sep – Singapore Airlines

Sounds corny but let me ‘accompany’ you on your looong flights hehe…this is the closest I’ve been to my music ‘travelling’ around the world and I’m GRATEFUL! =)

love,
Jon

ps-thank you all of you who came down to Starbucks’ event at Bugis yesterday and making it a success!

Hello!

Always honoured to be able to perform at the Originals Only Open Mic (OOOM) at the Singapore Arts’ Museum (SAM). I remember the original OOOM at the Singapore Arts Cafe (formerly at the Esplanade) being the first truly unique platform for my original music (and for so many others as well!)- an encouraging and non-judgmental environment for expression.

So hope to see you guys @7 PMĀ  this Friday 21st May @ SAM and keep supporting Singapore-made music and the OOOM movement!

Love…

Jon

Catch Jon at the OOOM this May!

Catch Jon at the OOOM this May!

Elo all! do come and join me at Starbucks ION Orchard this weekend: Sat 27th Mar, 4 PM

Tonight, it was great having a bunch of familiar faces as well as Ruth and Cheyenne joining us! had loads of fun!

We’ll be taking a break next weekend (Easter weekend) and then it’ll be one last weekend at Liat Towers!

Gigging at Starbucks ala busking has been a truly humbling and awesome experience; to see strangers responding positively to my music has been a privilege. So I hope to see YOU at one of these last few gigs! =)
