  • "Jonathan has the remarkable talent to cut straight to the heart and soul of a film. His fierce intuition and sensibility combined with his 'Can Do' attitude and beautiful music is something every film should be fortunate enough to experience. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to collaborate with him.”

  • Jonathan is not only a great composer, he's a musical expert and artist. When I had no idea what music I wanted for my film he quickly suggested several different options and delivered the completed project in a very timely manner. I have hired Jonathan twice and the the next time I need a composer, I'll call him again. You should too!
