Jon's dedication started when he was a teenager, a familiar face regularly seen in many of the underground clubs in New York City. In the early 80's Jon began his exposure djing mostly at local neighborhood house parties. It was not until years later that he actually gained the opportunity to spin in clubs. The djing eventually lead Jon to embark on producing and to create his collection of necessary studio equipment. After working at an independent record label for two years, he grasped the knowledge of the industry and was ready to advance. Jon's entrepreneur side surfaced in 1996 when he finally decided to start his own label called Distant Music. Jon's main concern was to launch a powerful catalogue without the focus of his own productions.
