Bio
Grace O'Grady
I’ve learnt so much from Jon that I don’t really know where to start, but it’s pretty clear I wouldn’t have half the knowledge or confidence I have today without him guiding and mentoring me. Jon is such an inclusive and encouraging manager, he will take you on the journey and always allow for input which helps to not only grow the team, but also gives invaluable experience and insight into the wider business. Jon combines creative flair, with clear strategic thinking which forms authentic and successful brand partnerships. He is always willing to learn and grow, to share and collaborate, but ultimately - he really is a fountain of knowledge that can pretty much apply his experience to any genre, any event and any artist. In music and entertainment specifically, Jon’s passion for music is unstoppable. It’s within his blood, which means he genuinely cares about the consumer, the artist and the experience they share. Jon is now one of my closest friends, and I will always respect his work ethic. I can only but thank him for allowing me to grow and develop within my career.

Jon is an amazing band manager who I couldn't recommend any higher. From the experience that I've had with him I've witnessd a manager who couldn't work any harder for his band. Jon consistently goes above and beyond his calling to further Camera’s music career. I was involved with Jon on the production of two film clips. On both of these jobs I worked as a part of large crews that consisted of people volunteering based upon two things; 1) great ideas and scripts, and 2) the fact the Jon is an amazing person who inspires others to want to work with him.
