Hailing from the shores of Cedar Lake, Minneapolis native Jonathan Dessi-Olive did what a lot of others did in this chilly city: pick up a guitar and start writing songs.

Trained classically on the piano during his early childhood years, Jonathan's transition to Rock Music was pretty smooth. His songs are a synthesis of all the music he hears around him. They usually turn out to be highly original pop compositions that cover a wide range of topics.

For the past few years Jonathan's main creative focus has been studio recording but he still takes the stage, usually as a solo artist. With just a guitar and his voice he takes his songs from the studio, strips them of all the production and layers of overdubs and delivers with all the energy he has to offer.

Jonathan is currently working on an EP that will one day be released. (-) collapse
