All I Want for Christmas is You - METAL COVER
I felt obligated to do at least one Christmas song this year... so I kinda just did this.

2017-12-04 23:15:43 +0000 UTC View PostThis was another one of the genius Jack (ToxicxEternity) Fliegler's brilliant ideas where he was basically like, "Jon here's a crazy arrangement of the fairly oddparents theme" and I was like, "Let's go boiiii".
There's a few quirky little arrangement sparkles that we threw in, and as always, Jack's shredding is brillian...
do you ever just make a mistake

This month has been crazy - Lots going on. My girlfriend moved in with me, I'm trying to start the process of buying a small house, we're open for business at the office, and I had some personal drama to deal with.
WITH THAT SAID
This cover is without a doubt the vi...
This one was fun.
It's sort of a running joke amongst collaborators and I that every month we somehow manage to find a song that is even more meme-filled or edgy-xD to make a cover of.
Full transparency, I haven't played Sonic Forces yet, and I probably don't plan to... but I've been following the dudes in the ban...
This one was crazy fun. Jack (ToxicxEternity) always absolutely kills it whenever we work together, and this was no exception. He arranged the whole instrumental and I took his recordings and mixed it all up with my drum samples and whatnot, then threw down some sPoOooOoopy vocals - I thought I was going to need at least 5 layer...
2017-10-31 00:29:51 +0000 UTC View PostThis was a super fun halloween-y cover with Producer Extraordinaire, Lee Albrecht. It's nice to be able to sit in the passenger seat for at least part of the cover production process when I'm so busy with other things this month (see new update video regarding my new studio!!) and Lee always kills it, bringing super heavy instru...
2017-10-27 23:54:29 +0000 UTC View PostTurning music that's more than 50 years old into pop punk is always weird. This was a cool and quick cover since I didn't have to sing that much, and doing the low villain voice is always fun :3
Hope you enjoy it!!
This cover was weird.
Like I mentioned in this Patreon feed before, the opening cover prior to this one (Peace Sign OP2) was outside of my comfort zone initially, but then seemed to turn out very organic and natural -
This cover was the opposite. I thought that given the original song, it would fit my own "style" ver...
I've been wanting to cover this song for years because it's such a spicy underrated meme and I finally had the time to throw it together!
Also our first video in the new warehouse filming space - More announcements about that soon :3
2017-10-02 20:56:24 +0000 UTC View PostI approached this cover worried that it would be too far outside of my comfort zone stylistically for me to have any fun - Usually the really dry, "alt" rock/pop that seems to be trendy in anime openings lately isn't very interesting to me, but I found myself resorting to some super fun stacks of synthesizers to fill out this mi...

As some of you may have noticed, I haven't posted much lately because I am the worst.
Lately my career seems like it's been speeding ahead of me at a million miles an hour, in a lot of good ways - I spent half of July doing a whole bunch of collaborations with some great frien...
I've been dying to start the process of getting perfectionist self-imposed redemption by re-recording and releasing of covers (particularly Disney) that I recorded prior to 2016.
I'm hoping that as I re-record these songs that I feel I fell short of doing justice to several years ago, I can re-compile the new releases int...
This was actually a pretty quick and easy cover to put together. As far as videos I've done in the past several months, I think this is one of the best examples of an instrumental track where I pull out a lot of tricks from my sleeve to create an arrangement that feels like "standard" jonathan young treatment (...for better or f...
2017-08-25 03:20:21 +0000 UTC View PostThis arrangement was a serious challenge!
The original broadway bridge of this song where Christina makes her vocal entrance is soooooo operatic, it's difficult to replicate in any context other than orchestral, not to mention the length of the drawn out meandering, haunting vocal melody really kills the momentum of a me...
Had a great time putting this together with the crazy talented guitarist/producer Lee Albrecht and my good friend Caleb Hyles!! We tried to take the production quality on this up a notch from my normal videos, and it was a fun challenge adapting a song that original is so fluid and broadway-esque in it's tempo changes into somet...
2017-08-25 03:14:06 +0000 UTC View PostThis one was so much fun. Alejandro (AHmusic) absolutely killed it with this dark and frantic instrumental, please show him some love! The breakdown gave me chills the first time I heard it.
2017-07-01 01:22:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! This is one of my favorite videos I've ever done. I can only hope I did a little shred of justice to this amazing song with my translation and cover arrangement. Love you guys!
2017-07-01 01:20:18 +0000 UTC View PostBrandon killed it on this instrumental, be sure to send him some love :3
2017-05-30 22:27:04 +0000 UTC View PostThis one was so fun to shoot!!! Shot on the Sunset Cliffs beach in San Diego :3 Definitely going to film here more often.

2017-04-14 14:31:49 +0000 UTC View PostTravis absolutely slayed this video. We basically sat down and said "We have been doing too many regular looking videos in front of a backdrop, we need to start taking videos up a notch".
Travis then devised the camera flip transition which we tested on our second channel, and we agreed to do a video in mostly one take -...
