Jonah K
Jonah K, is a musician, artist and electronic alchemist known for his richly detailed visual art and dark, bass-driven music. His experimental musical style fuses heavy delays, eerie melodies and growling arpeggiated synthesis with dusty samples and syncopated rhythms. Drawing inspiration from worlds of fantasy and the outskirts of the sub-conscious, Jonah is a fearless explorer of the imagination and his work conjures vivid and mysterious narratives.
Studying Sonic Art and Film at the Ontario College of Art and Design and Computer Animation at Sheridan, Jonah has independently released two albums on his own label, Gnome Recordings, and has released tracks on compilations by Vague Terrain, Foundation, Periphery and Hot Pie Records. Performing as much as possible, he has played events throughout North America, the Middle East and Asia alongside many great artists, such as Deadbeat, Trace, Shpongle, Bassnectar, D-Nox, DJ Dopey, Akufen and Midimilliz (to name just a few).
Visual projects have ranged from independent and collaborative shows, and murals in Toronto and New York to illustration work for the Om Festival, Toronto Fringe Festival and Greenpeace Canada.
Jonah has organized events in Toronto for the last decade and has worked extensively with the Om Summer Solstice Festival and the Om Reunion Project, directing Drum n Bass sound villages and stages since 2002. He is currently a resident DJ, artist and bus mechanic for the Suma collective and is working on a massive new album.
