Music has taken Moonlight Jones to many corners of the globe and from coast to coast in the United
States. A self-taught guitarist, he was fascinated with how easily music could open up whole worlds of
creativity and inspiration.
Born to an Egyptian father and an American mother of Czech heritage, Moonlight Jones’s introduction into
the world of music was wide ranging and has influenced his musical style ever since.Latin, Middle
Eastern and World music was always playing in Moonlight Jones’s household, as was Blues, Bluegrass,
Asian and Folk music.
The sound of the flamenco guitar in particular inspired him to move to Spain and learn as much as he could
about the style while living and studying in Barcelona and Granada. Trips to Puerto Rico, Cuba and
Colombia further opened up his world
to the rich musical cultures of those countries and many others.
His professional music career started in Los Angeles, CA. His first job in L.A. was working for famed
graphic designer Kyle Cooper, in Malibu. Shortly after, he decided to pursue sound engineering to round
out his growing musical experience.
While there, he worked with many local bands and got an opportunity to tour with the 100 Monkeys, which
was “Twilight” alum Jackson Rathbone’s band and headlined shows at The Whiskey-A-Go Go, The Mint, The
House of Blues on Sunset and The Viper Room, to name a few.
Moonlight Jones’s love of film music eventually landed him a job with Heitor Pereira, famed film composer,
who had a studio at Hans Zimmer’s Remote Control Studios in Santa Monica.
More recently, he moved back to Florida, this time to Miami, where he began working with local
Haitian artists, Claude Cajuste of Gemini All-Stars fame, and rapper/singer Purple Gorilla. Together, they
formed the group Echo N Dream and
have played shows all over Miami.
In 2021, Moonlight Jones teamed up with acclaimed producer Nino Valentino. Together they
created a unique genre of music called "Cosmic Soul" which is a blend of Latin
music, R&B and Rock. When asked why they chose the name "Cosmic Soul" Moonlight Jones
responded, "Through our music we want to connect with our fans on a universal level”.
Moonlight Jones has released three singles so far, “Hot Night”, “Whatcha Doin’ to Me” and “I like the Way”
and released his EP, “Rise Up” in July 2023 with the help of Concore
Entertainment and Charve The Don.
