Jonathan Tobin

Jonny Tobin is a Grammy and JUNO-nominated keys player, vocalist, and producer based in the west coast of Canada. His keys and production work have graced hundreds of tracks from independent artists like NYC-based Sarah Kang to breakout hip-hop artist D. Smoke to placements for Vogue Germany, Disney, and the Utah Jazz NBA team. Jonny’s original music resides in an alternate dimension somewhere between a 90’s video game and a 60’s Blue Note record. Fat synth funk grooves playfully collide with abstract jazzy undertones and create immediately infectious vibes for the listener. To date, Jonny has released 6 original albums. His songs have collectively received over 20 million streams, and have been selected for numerous official editorial Spotify playlists including “Jazztronica”, “Chill Out Jazz”, “BUTTER”, “lofi beats”, “State of Jazz”, “Lo-Fi Cool Down”, “21st Century Jazz”, “Crisp”, “Mood Ring”, “Orbit”, and “Best Funk Songs of 2021”. As a live performer, Jonny has had the privilege of opening for several high-profile artists within the world of R&B, neo-soul, and modern jazz including Braxton Cook, CARRTOONS, and Adi Oasis, and he headlined at the Vancouver Jazz Festival in 2023.
