Jon

Olivier Award winning theatre maker, singer and multi-instrumentalist Jon Whitten was born at a prodigiously young age. Following several fallow years, devoted primarily to learning pokemon names, he discovered music and hasn't looked back. He has run, coached and conducted choirs for village halls, office break rooms and opera stages. He has performed, wrote and recorded for artists including Alt-J [Mercury Album of the Year, three time Brit Award Nominee, Ivor Novello Award Winner], Sam Lee [Mercury Award Winner, BBC Folk Award Winner], Charles Castronovo and City of London Sinfonia, and companies including Netflix, the Royal Opera House, Blind Summit, Little Bulb and Shakespeare’s Globe. He has written and directed for GEI (funded by Arts Council England) Teatro Urcylium (funded by by Fonds Darstellende Künste), Babolin Theatre Company. His TV appearances include Later… with Jools Holland and NPRs Tiny Desk Concerts, and live performance credits include the Glastonbury Acoustic Stage, Barbican Theatre, festivals across Europe and the Americas and an unlit crypt beneath Paris. In his personal time he is writing a life changing drag cabaret called Deeply Personal, Sweetly Soulful, Searing and Brave.
