“I have worked with Jonnie on projects and found him to be an instinctive and a reassuring presence around my artists. He has great knowledge across multiple genres and is hugely connected. Beyond that, I try to work with people I like, and I’m yet to meet anyone who doesn’t like Jonnie.”
Jamie Nelson
SVP BMG
“Jonnie was a pleasure to work with .. a total music freak and very organised.”
Alan McGhee
Creation Records – Oasis, My bloody valentine
“JB: such great ears, such a great heart and such a great guy! Such a lot of great stuff in one man!”
JOHNNY McDAID
Grammy Award winning Songwriter – Ed Sheeran, Pink, Snow Patrol
“I worked on various projects with Jonnie. Found him to be a very good communicator, not afraid to present his vision as contribution. Bands seem to accept him as a band member rather than label representative
MARKUS DRAVZ

“I always feel so fortunate when I work with Jonnie. He’s a pro who has an encyclopaedic knowledge of music of all genres. He’s been invaluable to every project I’ve worked with him on. Nothing is ever too much trouble.More than anything he’s a really great guy who I love to be around.”
Aled Jones
Classical Artist
“Don’t always love A&R input but Jonnie was really supportive, full of great ideas and always encouraging us to take some risks. ‘Soundboy Rock’ had some great features – Mutya, Stush, Candi Staton – Jonnie deserves a lot of credit for that.”
Groove Armada
Artist
“You da man Jonnie, You da man.”
Kylie Minogue
Artist
“Jonnie and I first met when he was doing A&R at Sony Records. He would come over to my studio and we would chat for hours over our mutual love of Prefab Sprout. He’s a real music fan and most importantly – He truly respects the art of great songwriting.”
Chris Braide
Award winning Songwriter – SIA, Lana Del Rey, Nicki Minaj
“I (we) had a great time working with you. You were such a great help to us making the Riot City Blues LP. You really sorted a lot of shit out getting us to finish the record in the sound & style that we wanted to make, & you always made the wishes of the band a number one priority. You are great at your job – we never ever had an A&R Man before, we did it all ourselves, so it was great to have that burden lifted from our shoulders.”
Bobby Gillespie
Primal Scream
“When I was just starting out as a producer, Jonnie took a chance on me with a brilliant, yet somewhat unknown band named Mew. He gave us the creative support we needed along with a contagiously excitable enthusiasm. He is an asset to any creative endeavour. Also, the hair.”
Rich Costey
Grammy Award winning Producer / Mixer – Biffy Clyro, Sam Fender, Foo Fighters, Pink
