chez jonesy (colin jones) was born in Montreal, in 1973. music has been a part of my life for as long as i can remember. we always had music playing around the house growing up. we had piano lessons, an old drum kit that we would beat up on, a bunch of old keyboards to make noises with, and parents that were sympathetic and patient. about ten years ago, a friend of mine gave me an old accoustic guitar.from there. i started buying little gadgets, boxes, and doo dads that i could use to record myself. after a lot of tweaking, we slowly built a recording studio that produces some pretty good quality sounds. if i could do music as a full-time career, i would. but as it stands now, i subsidize my passion with a quote-unquote real job that i also love. the music i make is fundamentally enjoyable to me. selfishly, i enjoy driving around in listening to my own tunes. i am truly thrilled when people tell me that they had a good experience while listening to a chez jonesy track. i guess that's what it's all about for me... making music that i like, and hopefully, that other people like too. check out the latest album "micro" at www.chezjonesy.com you can download (or stream) it for free. i am involved in several collaborative projects - and am always looking to expand my horizons, so feel free to email me to set up a jam session.
