I have a lot of drive and a lot of will power and I will stick to something and I will get it done.\nToday I\u2019m talking to Jonas Blue, a major recording artist in the UK. Jonas is known for a tropical house cover of Tracy Chapman\u2019s Fast Car and his single Perfect Strangers, which hit double platinum in Australia. He started pursuing music at a very young age and has never looked back.\n\nJonas and I talked about his story and background, how he got started in the music industry, what his creative process is like, and how he goes with the flow. He also told me how he knows a song is going to be good, and why he sticks to his guns.\n\nIf you\u2019re new to Nion Radio and want to join a community of creatives, join the Nion Life group on Facebook.
