My name is Jonathan Mark Hodges aka Jon Mark and I’m in love with music! This love has developed over time for me. I’m from a small town in Mississippi called McComb. Well, okay, if I’m being completely honest, I’m from an even smaller town called Magnolia. These towns are virtually one in the same but McComb is just more recognizable for people down south. Anyways, I’m sure you are reading this to learn more about me and less about my geographical origin.
Music has been an inspiration for me my entire life. I have 3 sisters (1 twin) and the 4 of us grew up influenced by most genres: Pop, Rock, R&B, Hip/Hop, Country, Folk, Gospel, Contemporary Christian, Soul, Classical…etc. This variety and my family’s chronic Karaoke-syndrome has molded my creativity and my ear for melodies and chords left and right. I don’t want you to believe that what I do is magic because it’s just not. There is a ton of unpaid time I personally have to work for this train to leave the station. The way I see it, “Time” is an Independent Artist’s most valuable currency. Time and People to be frank. But in the theme of being open to you, the listener, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE what I get to do. Writing music and telling stories are both anchors in my life. So if you’ll have me, I’d like to share what I see, feel and hear with you for as long as you’ll let me.
