Jonah Nilsson

Jonah Nilsson's life changed overnight after him and a couple long-time friends uploaded their own covers of huge pop hits like Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance” and Justin Bieber’s “Baby” to Youtube. The unique funk-pop covers spread like wildfire in the music community, garnered them millions of views, and got them the attention of many acclaimed artists, namely 16x Grammy Award winning producer David Foster, who signed the trio named Dirty Loops to Verve Records. And just like that, Jonah went from singing in his friend’s basement to becoming an international touring star.

Jonah now has a few headliner world tours under his belt and has acquired a significant fanbase of high-profile musicians, including music impresario Quincy Jones, who recently signed Jonah to his management company. “He’s different though, he’s got the perfect balance of right brain creativity and left brain music theory. It’s in his blood,” says Quincy Jones. “He’s got soul, with one of the biggest ranges I’ve ever heard.” And even though that’s enough for some, Jonah’s humble demeanor continues to push him forward. His cheery outlook on life gives you the sense he’s unphased and ready to continue giving the gift of music.

“It’s a little scary and wonderful at the same time because I have the chance to explore and share a new side of myself that my fans haven’t seen before. I’m really excited, and I can’t wait to see what happens.”
