Jonti - Twirligig

Australian based multi-instrumentalist, arranger, producer, and vocalist, Jonti, assembles music after spending countless hours studying records like they were books, processing each song, testing his theories on a 4-track recorder.
Recording with the likes of Mark Ronson, Santigold, Sean Lennon and the Dap-Kings, as well as producer John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Kurt Vile), Jonti has proven himself to be an extraordinary artist. For Jonti’s debut album ‘Twirligig’, he went the opposite route – doing everything himself, start to finish.
Twirligig draws inspiration from many of Jonti's favorite artists: Madlib, Stereolab, Free Design and The Beach Boys. But Twirligig's main inspiration came from cartoonist/ filmmaker Norman Mclaren. Jonti explains, "His films are complex, but they're still fun. You can feel his enthusiasm for techniques and experimentation. I try to make simple pop songs with that same enthusiasm."
“Incredibly original, really unusual and one of the most interesting things I heard in a while.” –MARK RONSON
“Jonti definitely has his own style, which makes working with him very exciting, He’s a real great musician” –ALBERT HAMMOND JR (THE STROKES)
