Bio



    THE AMERICAN ARTIST LEFT NEW YORK TO LAND ON UPON EUROPE’S DOORSTEP IN ORDER TO PERSUE A CHARMING CAREER IN THE WORLD OF ART... ARMED WITH PAINTBRUSHES -UNPUBLISHED MANUSCRIPTS... SONGS&POEMS, HE DECIDED TO COMMIT HIMSELF FULLY TO THE VITRIOLIC WORLD OF THE STRUGGLING ARTIST -AND THEIR SOMETIMES FRUITFUL PLIGHT. WORKING AS SONGWRITER - AND PLAYING SONGWRITER/VOCALIST IN 23 ROCK/POPGROUPS AND PULLING OF A HANDFUL OF SMALL ARTSHOWS FOR HIS PAINTINGS WERE HARDLY UNUSUAL. STRUGGLES WERE MANY--- PENURY, USUAL....AND HOMELESSNESS --- OBVIOUS BUT HEY, DIDN’T SINATRA SAY “IF I CAN MAKE IT THERE... I’LL MAKE IT ANYWHERE” ? BUT SOMEONE ELSE SAID “REWARD YOURSELF...YOUR -SELF - HOLDS REWARDS -SO BE YOURSELF!” 2001 HE WAS INTRODUCED&SIGNED TO GET PHYSICAL FROM THE START. HIS 1ST 2002 RELEASE “ONE&ONE” (A COLLABORATION WITH M.A.N.D.Y. & BOOKA SHADE - AND A 1ST EVER TELEVISED LIVE RADIOSHOW PERFORMANCE WITH THE LEGENDARY DJ T. FOLLOWED SHORT AFTER) STARTED THE BALL ROLLING (THE 1ST ISSUE 12” DISPLAYING HIS OWN COVER ART!). 2003 BROUGHT FORTH “I DON’T KNOW?” WHICH TOPPED THE BELGIUM DANCE CHARTS TWICE! AND PUT THE ARTIST ON THE MAP... WITH THOUSANDS OF BROKEN-HEARTS TO RESPOND&RELATE. 2005 IGNITED THE SELF-PRODUCED, CONTROVERSIAL LO-FI MASTERPIECE “DISLOCATED GENIUS” -WHICH ALSO DONS AN ORIGINAL CANVAS-WORK COVER -WE SHAN’T GET INTO THE POLITICS OF THAT COVER... THIS IS NOT THE TIME, NOR THE PLACE PLACE. AFTER COUNTLESS SHOWS... FEATURINGS... DRAMAS... AND OBVIOUS MOUNTAIN CLIMBING 2007 SEEMS TO BE THE MOMENT FOR THE LONG-AWAITED FOLLOW-UP -ENTITLED: “CHATTERTON” ---THERE HAS BEEN MUCH DEBATE ON THE MEANING&CONTENT, BUT WE SHAN’T DELVE INTO THIS EITHER (SORRY). IN A WORLD WITH SO MANY “MOLDED&MANUFACTURED” ARTISTS (DARE I USE THE WORD -ARTISTS-?) IT IS A PLEASURE (OR TO SOME, A HINDRANCE) TO INTRODUCE AN ARTIST WHOSE AIM IS FRIGHTFULLY TRUE... ladies and gentlemen............ Chelonis R. Jones.
