Jon Gomm is from Blackpoll, England but he currently lives in Leeds. He is a singer/songwriter as well as a virtuoso guitarist who has defied the odds. Jon has rejected the mainstream music industry in favor of his independence, artistic control, and a deep commitment to self-expression.

The sound of a church choir, the buttons on an accordion and the plucking of the strings on a plastic ukulele were John’s first tactile and aural experience with music. Then at the age of thirteen he discovered the guitar and the music of Chet Atkins. This had a profound impact on John. Though he didn’t know it, the course of his future was taking shape.
