About the Artist

With a sound that blends the warmth of 60’s and 70’s greats with the texture of modern R&B and jazz, Jones’ music is rooted in timeless songwriting, live instrumentation, and a voice that carries both vulnerability and power. Already being named as an “Artist to Watch for 2026”. Earmilk praised, “Sky’s the limit for this blue-eyed soul meets retro-R&B mastermind“ while Ladgyunn wrote,”Blending ‘60s and ‘70s soul with modern R&B and jazz influences, Jones’ music pairs timeless songwriting and live instrumentation with a voice that balances vulnerability and power.”
MT Jones has gained strong radio and tastemaker support with previous singles including “Punchin’” “Why I Cry” and “I Don’t Understand” receiving airplay across BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music, Jazz FM, and BBC Introducing. Jones has been championed by Jo Whiley, and recorded a live session at BBCs legendary Maida Vale Studios earlier this year for broadcast . He has drawn comparisons to Donny Hathaway, Carole King, and D’Angelo, while remaining distinctly his own. From his beginnings as a teenage busker to touring internationally with longtime friend Jalen Ngonda and supporting Lauryn Hill, Jones’ journey has been shaped by both graft and soul.
MT Jones recently released his debut album, Joy. Joy, which was all written by Jones, features the previously released singles, "Why I Cry", "Gentle Reminder" , and "I Don't Understand". “Joy is a story of moments and feelings in my life past and present.” says MT Jones. “Love, life, loss and everything in between.”
