It’s rare these days to find a young artist who puts everything on the table. Who puts his whole heart into his music and passionately sings of his love for Jesus Christ. McReynolds is that rare find, who at 25 years old is on his way to becoming one of the most fascinating gospel / Christian contemporary music (CCM) artists of his time. With his exceptional songwriting, incredible voice, and his compelling debut album “Life Music,” there is absolutely no stopping Jonathan’s tremendous talent and natural star quality.
From Switzerland to Los Angeles, the prison to the pulpit and beyond, "your music is like a breath of fresh air" is what audiences across the globe are saying of eOne Music recording artist, Jonathan McReynolds, every time he takes the stage. Music Industry Superstars including Stevie Wonder, Kirk Franklin, India Arie, Nicki Minaj, CeCe Winans and more all agree, McReynolds is one to watch! The plea from all who hear him is 'we hope you never change.'
The South Side of Chicago native plans on staying true to who he is. “The three things I ride on are transparency, purity, and genuineness” says McReynolds. That’s what my life has been built on, that’s what my music is about. McReynolds’ 2012 debut release, Life Music, took the industry by storm, shooting to the top of the iTunes Christian and Billboard Gospel Charts at number 1 and number 3, respectively.
The Christian music industry now has a young, impressive, multi-talented artist who is not afraid to open up his heart and soul and honestly sing about the ebb and flow of living in Christ. “I feel like God knows who I am. He knows my strengths and weaknesses and he wanted me to do this. What humbles me is that I know this is what God wants to do in this season of my life,” Jonathan says. “I see how it’s affecting other people. I see how it affects youth. I see how it affects young black men like me. He’s giving me the opportunity to shine, to point people to Him."
So what is up next? Jonathan plans on releasing another album This year for eOne/Tehillah Music Group. He is also back in school after receiving his undergrad degree in 2011, to receive a master’s degree in biblical studies in May of 2015.
Stay connected to witness huge things this year!
