The United Kingdom has yet again blessed the world with a musical sensation who goes by the name Don Jones. Don has a sound that is unlike any other in the industry. His style is compelling and draws in listeners with his futuristic nostalgic aesthetics. Music started for him at a young age. He knew that music was his calling and his place of refuge where he could totally be himself. 2006 was the pivotal year he made the bold decision of becoming a full time creative. At this point no one was aware of his music talent and this was his moment of realization, he had to step out of his comfort zone and make the masses aware of his music. He states “Taking that first step can be tough, but you just gotta go for it . . . and not worry about what others will think. You have to show them your vision.”

His enigmatic yet uplifting personality shines through in every single word and line he delivers, leaving you satisfied and wanting more at the same time. In 2018 he actually began releasing music. Don Jones joined the Always Active Media group in 2019, and in 2020 also became part of 3AM. These teams have become known for pushing the artistic boundaries of Hip-Hop and Pop culture, their authentic visual approach along with best-in-class marketing and management continues to set new standards in the ever developing creative and entertainment industries. By passionately creating music and art, Don Jones unlocks the drive for success in his many talented fans and followers. You’re not just listening to Don Jones, you’re experiencing this breathtaking upward ride alongside him.

Don Jones is set to surprise his fans with a new release at the end of the season. The project is titled “Sunset Season”. When hearing this project for the first time, the listener is initially greeted with Don Jones’ familiar vocal editing style and eclectic beat selection. However this project comes off as more polished and professional than past seasons. The tone of Sunset Season is one of re-birth and perseverance. With songs such as

Angel Time, that speaks directly towards the artist’s personal drive and work ethic. Each track carries its own aesthetic, which is to be visually displayed within the music video productions. He states “If there’s one thing I want my fans to take aways from listening to this project, it’s that I’ve been working non-stop to make sure the quality, delivery, and overall vibe of these songs are in alignment with my personal standards of integrity.” “I want to make sure the fans are getting the absolute best! Every time.”

This latest project, called Sunset Season. (Proceed of course, by Apollo and Libra season, which were really, transitional albums, lynch pins on which the whole saga turned, paving the way to pick up the wreckage of the emotional trauma expressed in the hurricane seasons and move to a fresh new, exciting seasons of musical growth and prosperity). This last album in the series is the close out, and after this, the theme of seasons is finished (at least for now), as he moves forward into a new saga. Don Jones’ unique authenticity makes him one of the game’s most exciting artists to watch. If you have not already, get familiar with his brand and be sure to add him to your playlist.
