Jonathan was born with music in his blood. His mother was a background singer for Motown superstars such as Stevie Wonder and The Jackson Five and inspired him to start singing. Jonathan competed in talent shows throughout school and landed a gig on a Glee-inspired musical tour after high school. He went on to tour as a background artist, but at 23 he discovered a lump in his neck. Doctors told him he had stage 4 cancer that had spread to his lung, spleen, and liver. Jonathan nearly gave up during his months of treatment, but his parents and brother pushed him to keep fighting. Now cancer free, Jonathan has found success singing background for artists like Chaka Khan and Fergie, but wants to take center stage on “The Voice”.
