Jont - CandleLit Single and Supernatural Album
Jont releases his third album 'Supernatural", through Unlit Records on 5th May 2008
Every young singer-songwriter claims a uniqueness, something that differentiates them from the tide of lone travellers armed solely with an acoustic and a headful of memories, and yet no other singer-songwriter can lay claim to music as an artform quite so vividly as London's Jont.
Inspired by the visual literature of the American beat poets as a teen, an intrigued young Jont sought to meet the major living poets of that generation in person, and set off to America, interviewing 23 of them and even having dinner with Allen Ginsberg in his New York apartment. "Do you like sex?" Allen said after dinner, but Jont escaped just in time.
Returning to the UK and inspired by his conversations with the poets, Jont began writing his own fables and sketched his first lovelorn songcraft. Influenced by the Beats and also the vibe of the '70s Laurel Canyon songwriter community, Jont devised a a way to get his music out there but also to build a community of like-minded artists, and a space for them to play. Unlit was born. Starting as a regular night in a venue, Jont's brainchild has evolved in recent years to be a completely unique and inspiring venture.

It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.
