“Experimental, dark, storytelling songs with a vein in hiphop and shoegaze. Weird repetitive lyrics followed by lengthy thought out verses, typically with a lot of details in the vocals themselves.”

“I was free to perform and connect with the audience in a way that simply wasn’t possible prior to this show.”
“My biggest ambition right now is leveling up, staying down and determined, focused, motivated, continuously getting better and better, and just staying on my craft and in my own lane and doing me.”
“I listened to Robbie Williams a lot when I was younger, because he’s from the same town as me so I have to represent Stoke, ahaha.”
“The biggest lesson I’ve learned from behind bars is humility. Life doesn’t come how we want it or when we want it, however, while we are here we have gotta work it for what we can and accept the rest in reality.”
“My advice to any artists out there that are facing self-doubt and discouragement is to find your tribe of people who love you and believe in you and surround yourself with them. Know and trust that you are an artist, for real. You are enough, and you can.”
“Be patient, everything is about timing. What’s meant for me is already mine. Embrace the journey. Embrace adversity. I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
“For those who are new, I write and produce Alternative Hip-Hop, I’m based in Fort Worth, TX at the moment, and I first started making music at the age of 11. I recorded my first verse with my oldest brother’s friends when I was 14 I think.”
Vancouver songwriter and long-time performer Jonathon Goldie recently released his evocative new single Dark and Blue. We caught an interview to find out more about the song, his journey so far as an independent musician, and plenty more.
