27-year-old Jonathan Cigary was born with and has cultivated the talent of writing good songs with beautiful melodies and lyrics that grab at a person's emotions, causing them to remember and react to their deepest desires. Also skilled at singing, producing, arranging, and musicianship (he is proficient at guitar, bass, piano and drums), Jonathan is a record label's dream. A career artist, as opposed to a one-hit wonder, Jonathan has written a wealth of radio-friendly songs and knows how to translate them successfully onto recording. It is only a matter of time before this hidden talent is a staple in every popular music scene on earth. Jonathan was born on July 11, 1983, in Cleveland, Ohio and currently resides in New Haven, Connecticut. Jonathan started strumming around on his dad's guitar so much that his dad was inspired to get him an electric guitar for his 13th birthday. Within two years, he was in a band called Halogen, which he played in all throughout high school. In high school, Jonathan started to realize that he could sing, and even got some major roles in his high school plays as a result of that ability. The guys in Halogen didn't really need him to sing, so at their encouragement, he left Halogen and in a few months (October 2001) joined another band, Unpaved. He took over lead singing and rhythm guitar duties. The band made two CDs (one of them being formally released) and more or less broke up when Jonathan and Unpaved's lead guitarist Daniel both came to Oklahoma City to go to school. Jonathan, however, is still intent on making a life for himself in music. So he is setting out as a solo artist, pursuing a professional career in music. With a number of good songs recorded and produced in his home studio, Jonathan is poised to step into his dream of playing music professionally.

In February of this year, I packed a bag and set out on a journey to find myself in the desert. After 5 years in New York, I moved down to Nashville hoping to record the new Brent Shuttleworth record, ’Fire and the Flood.&rsquo I had been playing in New York for a little while and always felt like there was something missing. I didn’t feel like myself or like I was giving people the full range of my life experience or who I am as a person. I thought the only truth I could tell was in the darkness. I was depressed and confused. I needed to find something different and fresh. I felt stagnated and stuck in my life and in my music. I had been doing a lot of co-writing for the past few months and thought I had a solid start on the first few tunes we would record. The romantic ideas of Nashville began to fade after I moved to TN. I felt out of place and considered leaving the dream of being an artist.

My best friend Carlos, came to visit me on my birthday in Nashville this year. I had just moved down there and was jumped by six guys when I was walking out of a club the night of my birthday celebration. I wound up falling from the sidewalk and splitting my head open on the concrete and when Carlos turned around to see what had happened, I was laying in the street as the guys who jumped me ran off. I was bleeding so badly from my head that people thought I had been shot and pulled over their cars to help out. I was unconscious for most of the time and was unable to communicate with any of the EMT’s or doctors. A scary place to be, to say the least. I had been asking where I was and what had happened over and over again for around 5 hours. I remember seeing Carlos’ face for the first time. I will never forget it. It all became so simple. Life is too short. I felt like I had been staring at my feet for my entire life. I wanted every ounce of my being to celebrate this life. Celebrate everything. The good, the bad, the perfect, the imperfect, all of it. On my birthday, I had been reborn in every way possible. I woke up to a new world. All of the heaviness lifted as I was welcomed back by Carlos. Carlos is my best friend, but also the one artist who challenges me to love, appreciate, honor and celebrate the wonder of the simple things in my life. I wanted to let go of all my insecurities, fear of failure, need for validation, everything. This was my Johnny Cash moment. If I had only one song to sing to the world, it wouldn’t be another indulgent song about love lost. I want to sing about the things that make me feel happy to be alive. And thus, the starchild, Mojo B, was born.

I had been making trips down to Nashville the year prior to write with another one of my best friends, Mike Shimshack. Mike is the silver lining of my life. He is full of life, love and positive energy. He never settles for anything ordinary. He is fearless and the most talented songwriter and producer I have ever heard. Two weeks after the incident, Mike invited me over to work on some new music. We opened the windows to his studio and wrote, ’Gimme Some Sugar.’ We put everything in the track that made us laugh and feel good. This was the most defining moment in my entire life. It sounded like nothing I had ever heard before. Over the next nine months, we have worked tirelessly on songs and a sound that lacks all inhibition. It is a testament. A reason to believe. A reason to wake up in the morning, look someone in the eye, say something kind and mean it. A reason to be a better person. I will forever be indebted to Mike. He is a beacon of talent, perseverance and generosity.
