   About Jon MacLennan Music

 

Hey everyone! Thanks for stopping by.

 

All of the albums are available 100% for FREE at www.JonMacLennan.com! I truly hope you will enjoy these tracks, I have put everything I have into to them. They are photographs of my life and dreams. Everyday I am constantly striving to make the best art I possibly can. It is extremely hard to be successful in this industry, especially at this time, however, there are now more then ever such vast opportunities available to the indie artist to make amazing art. I see it everywhere in L.A. This is what I am all about so please TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT MY MUSIC. Since the music is free all I ask is that you sign up for the MAILING LIST! If you really would like to support me, and believe in what I do please purchase a track or two off iTunes or any of the other digital distribution companies, I am on quite a few these days. I sincerely hope that you can help take my music and dreams to a new place. Peace

 

-JM

 

I also wanted to give a shout out to my good friend Luke Tozour, producer extraordinaire! I work with him on the majority of my tunes, and he always help take my ideas to new heights!

 

BIO:

 

As a professional artist and musician Jon MacLennan is wasting not time on the road to success. Currently working on his second independently funded record entitled “Dreams”. The follow up to his debut record "Suspicious Love" released in 2006.

 

Jon has already performed and recorded with a panoply of L.A.'s finest musicians. "I feel so blessed to have accrued the friendships and accolades I have, at such an early stage of my career" Jon states. He is proving himself a true songwriter and musician creating melodies with powerful force and unequivocal grace. Merged with great arrangements and lyrics that pertain to this generation, the world, and personal things.

 

Jon hopes to evoke feelings of love, hope, peace, faith, and loss through his music. Jon has had years of performing in and around L.A. with a plethora of different artists. Which in turn has culminated into a number of recording sessions for other artists as well. Jon did his first session at a Grammy-award winning studio at the age of 16!

 

Anyone who has had the chance to see Jon live is immediately moved by the way his true love for the music translates in every aspect of his performance.

 

Aside from music, Jon enjoys surfing, tea, yoga, and has been skydiving twice. In between tours, gigs, recording sessions, and composing, you can find him down at the beach catching some waves just like a typical Californian.

 

Jon is also available for the following Recording and Studio Session Work Touring and Live Stage Performances Songwriting and Soundtrack Scoring Private Guitar Lessons. He can be pretty easily reached so send him a message. To experience Jon MacLennan's music pick up a copy of his latest record "Suspicious Love" on iTunes today (see link below).
