Half a decade ago, Halifax native Jon Bryant packed his bags and journeyed across the sea to Europe to travel and unravel the thread surrounding his purpose in life. While backpacking across the hills of Austria and breaking the soles of his dirt-stained feet in Greece, Jon began to write songs. Described as a phenomenal experience, Jon felt he was figuring out who he was in relation to himself, his place in the world and who he was before God. After this remarkable year, Jon moved to Seattle, to volunteer at various ministries and churches, where he was personally mentored. While living there, Jon was inspired to live a life against society?s expectations. The call to return home came and so Jon left and enrolled at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. During his time of art education, Jon became serious about writing music. Ever the perfectionist, Jon worked hard to craft songs that reflected truth, life and love. These songs ended up on his debut album Two Coasts for Comfort, released in late 2009. After a flourishing year playing in New York, Seattle and the Canadian music scene, recording a music video in Calgary and achieving iTunes success through a featured "single of the week" download from his album, Jon finally hit the road this summer in a cross-Canada tour with Montreal singer-songwriter Gabrielle Papillion. On their VIA Rail train tour, they?ll perform in most of the major cities in each province. Jon recently showcased at the Junos in St. John?s, Newfoundland with Stevano UGO, a hip-hop artist from Los Angeles. He released a music video on May 29th entitled the Hallelujah and is working on a new video this summer after his tour. Jon is planning for a year of touring through North America, writing new music, recording in the new year and finishing up his last year at NSCAD. Jon has recently had the honor of becoming an artist advocate for Compassion International and looks forward to working closely with them through his career.
