In August of 2004, the launching pad of Jonathan's musical career was established with the release of his first three song demo track entitled "Get Up." The completed product was created, designed, and engineered by Eminem's sound engineer, Jason Khuen, with help from Evan Jones. Jonathan composes his own beats, music, and lyrics, while Mr. Khuen compiles it all together to create a musical masterpiece. As of late May 2005, he has sold over 600 demo tracks. Jonathan is currently in the recording process of a twelve track cd that will be released in the fall of 2005.
