Jon Alkalay

Growing up in Brazil and later on moving to Austin, TX exposed me to so many different influences…. but it all started at home, my dad was a classical music aficionado and wonderful baritone and my mom, who emigrated from Portugal, continues singing Fados beautifully. Besides these huge influences, I grew up listening to different Latin, American and European pop, rock and EDM, which is all reflected in the music I make. I moved to the US in the midst of the music industry collapsing due to all piracy and internet, which ended up forcing me to take a new direction in life. I have been a very successful executive from an important Insurance company over the past ten years, but the music has been always there; suffocated…. Thus, I decided it was time to let it come out again and live my real and only dream, to be an artist. By the way, that is what my first single is about, Putting Myself First! I hope you enjoy it and please don’t forget to look for my whole album available at CDBaby.com and iTunes.
