Bio
JJ Jones was born 1966 in Detroit.
In 1996 JJ Jones began working as an active performance artist and singer in Berlin, mainly as the lead singer of the trash art ensemble Fuzzy Love. He was also active with a re-launch of the cult 80s band Der Plan, among other projects.
In Nashville, he expanded his musical perspectives, singing in a Serbian orthodox church choir, and writing and singing solos for a number of other churches. At the same time, he founded ecclesiaudio, a musical collaborative project where he began to experiment with pure improvisation. His less spiritual pursuits in the USA involved performances as The Human Snow Globe, singing kitschy covers of Christmas songs inside an inflatable bubble.
Back in Munich, Germany, JJ Jones worked musically on radio plays, such as the award-winning Rauschunterdrückung from Ulrich Bassenge and film soundtracks like "Sommer in Orange", as well as with the band Tosca (by Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber) on their album "[m=511833]".
Since 2012, he has hosted and conceived the event Same Old Song, in which several live acts interpret a single song in a variety of ways for one evening.
His latest work is a solo piece, Vox on Vinyl, an aural collage that combines the recording of Nils Frahm with vocal interpretations of the texts of Meister Eckhart and David Bowie.
