Genetics can take you only so far, and talent and hard work takes you to the next step. That's the story of P.J. Morton, a talented newcomer to Soul Music with a legendary Gospel name. P.J. is the son of Gospel legend Bishop Paul S. Morton, but he is fashioning his own fledgling career beyond the boundaries of Gospel, mixing elements of folk, jazz and soul into his unique, engaging music.
The New Orleans native describes his music as "feel good music that lyrically tells stories about life and love...music that makes your heart think." He started as a child singing in church and became a solid pianist by the time he was an early teen, when he began writing in earnest. He was influenced by the church music of his father, but also by such disparate acts as Stevie Wonder, Sting, Prince and James Taylor.
By his early 20s Morton was already a music veteran and was writing songs for Men of Standard, Darwin Hobbs and India.Arie, and toured with Erykah Badu. He also formed the jazz band Freestyle Nation.
Jonathan McReynolds, one of Chicago’s newest up and coming artists, wants to bring a new level of transparency and genuineness to gospel music. He is part of generation that is losing hope, losing faith, losing respect for and losing knowledge of God and he knows that it is up to the Church to reintroduce the world to God’s love and set the example. In his E.P. you will find some of what this young generation goes through everyday: insecurity, battles against the world, the enemy, and within themselves, doubt, identity issues, and the ups and downs of trying to live in Christ.
Music is my passion and I love it all...I don't discriminate! Good songwriting, good production, good playing, good singing and good arrangement makes for GOOD music. I've been most influenced by a handful of gospel greats such as JMoss, Kim Burrell, Israel Houghton, and Smokie Norful. I have an equal love for great songwriters and musicians in every genre however including Chick Corea, John Mayer, the Beatles, the Yellowjackets, Musiq Soulchild and Rascal Flatts.
