New
Liverpudlian maestro on the block MT JONES, gathers inspiration from 60s and
70s soul greats to modern R&B and jazz, evoking a sound that is both
contemporary and timeless. His deeply soulful and distinctive vocals transport
you straight back to a smoke-filled speak easy whilst bringing a sound that
feels fresh and innovative.
Between stints
working on music regularly in Liverpool and London, Jones has travelled the
world as a musician and penned songs for other artists, making a name for
himself as a gifted and prolific songwriter. His debut releases (‘I Won't Ever
Say Goodbye’ and ‘Feeling Lonely’) marked his place as a new UK artist, firmly
heading places. Receiving immediate and strong support from BBC Introducing
with multiple spins across the network and a featured as a ‘Step up’ artist on
1Xtra, he later released a limited edition 7 inch vinyl; this first physical
offering sold out within weeks.
With further
support from the BBC selecting MT Jones to perform as a guest on the well known
BBC Radio 4 program Loose Ends and regular plays from the likes of Theo Johnson
(BBC 1) Craig Charles (BBC 6) and Trevor Nelson (BBC 2), support for him grew.
‘All I Do’ was the first offering from MT Jones’ debut
self-titled EP which was played regularly on Radio 2 at the beginning of
2025. The latest release from the EP,
Punchin’, has made the Radio 2 B playlist and been played extensively on the
station over the last few weeks with presenters such as Trevor Nelson
commenting ‘This is a song you’re going to be hearing a lot more on BBC Radio
2’; Richie Anderson ‘got a real sort of 70s soul sound to it, we really like
this… nice, I’m a big fan of that’; and Vernon Kaye ‘a soulful hipster - and he
looks it as well’.
MT Jones is set to be releasing his debut in October ahead
of touring around the UK and Europe this autumn.
