For regulars at Micky’s, seeing the bar in daylight can be disorienting, but also invigorating. Winter Jonz, a singer and songwriter at last week’s launch, certainly felt that way as artists congregated downstairs, snacking on tacos before “The Mic” kicked off. “I am able to connect to my community and let them see me,” Jonz said, “and not just always from the club scene where I’m inebriated in a corner, swaying to Katy Perry.” - LA TIMES
Participant Winter Jonz agreed.
“I am so grateful for the staff at Micky’s for creating a safe space for us to polish our craft and give way to our artistic queer expression,” Jonz said. - BEVERLY PRESS
“If you're looking for an evening of music that's great to dance to...[he] will deliver ...” - The Patriot News
"wickedly catchy pop manifestations" - EQ Music
An openly gay artist from the start, and I think his work is something the gay community could embrace with no guilt, and with pride. - Boy Culture
With traces of George Michael's stylish pop, Lady Gaga's envelope-pushing and, yes, a little Prince - Star Tribune

The devil side of me is always undressing anyone and everyone upon first introduction. Don’t care if you’re a guy or girl, gay or straight, 18 or 92 yrs old. I’ve undressed you in my mind, done things, all while cordially smiling like a saint. - Gayday Magazine
I encourage every member of the LGBT community to blab about their lives just like I have in this interview. Let it out. Show everybody you are just as much a 3-dimensional human being as the next person. - OUT-in-Thailand
