After years of producing music under various guises, Jon Charnis found his true calling in the slower, darker, and deeper spheres of House music. The re-invention manifested beyond music as the former DC native relocated to the city of Los Angeles while launching his new moniker (his actual birth name).
From then on it didn't take long to make his impact felt. His track 'Prophecy' was spotted by Innervisions boss, Dixon, who signed the track to his prestigious Berlin based label after road testing it at some of the world's premier parties.
He followed this up with an official remix of Art Department's Burning Man anthem, "Robot Heart", a collaboration with production partners Lovecraft and Prab K. And with upcoming tracks on No.19, Supernature, and All Day I Dream, 2013 will be a year to watch for this fast rising producer.
