Jonas & Plunkett

Jonas has grown up in the world of music, and achieved musical success in his early years. Before he even met Plunkett, he was credited on a double platinum album (The Minipops) and a gold album (Absolute Beginners).

Plunkett is an accomplished guitarist and songwriter who also happens to work as a doctor in an intensive care unit in a London Children’s Hospital. Listening to his songs it is clear that he grew up listening to Simon and Garfunkel and the Beatles. He met Jonas at Cambridge University where they became friends.

Years later, after a conversation around a piano, they decided to work together to write a song. Within a few months they had written 30 songs, scored a number 1 hit on the world’s biggest internet chart, generated interest from major and independent labels and featured on BBC Radio 2 to great acclaim.

The organic sound is largely thanks to their love of pure acoustic instruments like the cello, piano and acoustic guitar, but is added to by the production touches of Mike Hurst. Mike has plenty of experience in the music industry, having produced hit records by Cat Stevens, Manfred Mann and The Spencer Davis Group. The sounds of the 60’s and 70’s are brought out in his production work on Jonas and Plunkett’s songs; a style that suits the songs perfectly.
