So irresistibly lovely it makes you want to hug strangers on the street
Jont
BBC Electric Proms: Next Stage
Watch online
Charismatic singer-songwriter Jont left London for New York in April 2003 after being in various bands, having had different managers and deals fall through. His debut mini-album, 'One Long Song', is an introduction to a larger collection of songs, sparked by that decision to leave.
Whilst in New York, Jont developed Unlit - a hybrid of a house-party and a gig, featuring various different invited performers in changing locations. Each Unlit night was filmed, including interviews with the house owners, the artists and the audience.
With Unlit continually evolving from Los Angeles to London via Luton, Jont refuses to settle for the conventional or clichéd. Aided by an extraordinary band and a selection of exceptional musicians, his live experience has become an entirely fresh and exciting new proposition.
Jont was selected for Next Stage by the BBC Radio 2 Music Club with Dermot O'Leary
