Jonathan Atkins

How can one person create a huge musical experience? Jonathan Atkins, of Mississauga, Ontario, has spent years experimenting and searching for that distinct sound. From peaceful melodies to songs that will just make you want to dance, this unique talent will always impress a crowd.

With heavy influences such as Andy McKee and Dallas Green, Jonathan aims for instrumental riff's that can pull almost any listener in.
