BIOGRAPHY JONAH WHALE by Avion Zek Jonah Whale joined his first band at age twelve as lead singer. By age thirteen he had also taken up playing drums in a copy band. Inspired by early progressive rock icons like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, Jonah Whale started playing guitar and keyboards at age fifteen. He was soon writing his own songs, eventually emerging with his own unmistakable style - strong hooks and powerful melodies - soaring over compelling rhythm tracks. Jonah Whale is now an established artist with a five album catalog. The newest release “Mobius” was three years in the making, and like all four previous releases, “Dangerous Games,” “Underworld,” “Eccentricity,” and “Belly of the Beast”, it was written, recorded, mixed, and mastered in its entirety by solo artist Jonah Whale, at Adamsapple Records, his own home studio. The new album “Mobius”, is getting rave reviews from critics and fans alike, and is said to "rock you through dark valleys and roll you over mountain tops.” The featured singles are “Push”, "Break The Silence" and “Live For Tomorrow.” In 2013 Jonah Whale formed a band for live performance. They are based in central Pennsylvania and perform live in their tri-state area. MORE about JONAH WHALE Jonah Whale has called a lot of places home, including New York City and Los Angeles. His influences range form "Mozart to heavy metal", "I love hearing a song for the first time - I like to be surprised with things I haven’t heard before.” “It’s like going on an adventure.” Jonah Whale says he likes the Progressive Rock genre because it “constantly pushes the boundaries”. But he also says just being new or different isn't enough. "I love innovative songs, but I also want to be moved emotionally." Jonah Whale lyrics are insightful and full of imagery. Subject matter ranges from gentle sensitive ballads like “The Traveler” and “Imaginary World” to darker characters like the pyromaniac in “Match Head” and the atheist on death row in “Holyman.” Presently, Jonah continues to write, record, and perform live. At some point in the future, he would like to take on a few more outside projects and establish himself as an independent producer. "Hello, I would like you to know that for me, songwriting has always been a labor of passion. As an artist, my most rewarding moments are when my music inspires others. So, to all those who are inspired by these songs, I feel that we are at the very least, kindred spirits. I thank you, and my love goes out to you. Songwriting is also for me a very personal experience in many ways. So, as it turns out, on every album there have been one or two songs that touched me a little more deeply than the rest. On Dangerous Games it was “The Traveler” and “Faith”, on Underworld - “Holyman” and “One Little Thing”, on Eccentricity - “Imaginary World” and “I Would”, on Belly of the Beast - “Dream” and “Welcome to the end of the World”, and on Mobius - “Your Heart you must follow” and “Let Me Out” . I hope you enjoy, and thanks again.” Best Regards, Jonah Whale
