I am a classically trained violinist, with experience playing all styles from Gospel, Bluegrass, Pop, Rock, and Broadway. In addition to being an accomplished violinist, I am also a songwriter, pop vocalist, and worship leader. I grew up touring all over Uruguay, South America, and have played shows in New York, Nashville, and Los Angeles.

Violinist with over 25 years experience.

Jonathan Joel is an emerging pop artist who puts artistry into motion every time he takes the stage. With dynamic vocals accompanied by breath-taking violin playing, this NY-based musician creates a one-of-a-kind oasis for his audience to let loose and express themselves.

Jonathan draws inspiration from an array of artists and genres ranging from pop culture icons like George Michael and Britney Spears to more classical crossover influences like Lindsey Stirling and string quartet Bond.

His extensive musical background, attention to detail, and passion to create provides the ability to cater to the type of sound or style you're looking for and create something truly beautiful.
