Growing up in the foothills of Northern California, J.Tonal was forced at an early age (by the harsh twang of country-western music) to go in search of a different sound... After moving to LA and immersing himself in the Hip Hop and Electronic music scenes, he left for Nantucket Island where he started producing in a style that crossed between those two genres. In 1999 he moved to SF, and eventually met up with James Christopher and founded the Lowpro Lounge. In additional to playing DJ sets and live PA, he organizes electronic-acoustic fusion bands which feature both electronic elements and live instrumentation. He has fused DJs, live production, and samplers with flutes, bass, sitars, guitars, and drummers. J.Tonal delves into light jazzy hiphop, uptempo acid based breaks and deep electro house. He performs live with Abstract Rude, MC Soul Eye, Citizen Ten, and Ribotto, and has shared billing with the likes of DJ Shadow, DJ Krush, Shpongle, Ott, Jack Dangers from Meat Beat Manifesto, and UFO!.
