Jonas Conner's music is the sound of scars healing, truth being told, and light overcoming darkness. Hailing from Pittsburgh, TN, the 16-year-old singer, songwriter, and guitarist has weathered the sorts of trials and tribulations that most folks twice his age will never even experience. However, he's come out stronger on the other side with songs that can resonate across generations. Raised in a town of less than 3,000, the nearest gas station was a 25-minute car ride from the home where Jonas grew up across the street from his grandparents. As a kid, he split his time between basketball, cross country, and track. However, a Type 1 diabetes diagnosis caused him to step away from sports. For Christmas that year, Grandma gifted Jonas his first guitar. Under the influence of Tyler Childers, Phoebe Bridgers, and many others, he instantly attracted an audience on social media, posting covers on TikTok and Instagram. Among those viewers, rising star Cameron Whitcomb connected with him via DM. He invited Jonas to a show in Knoxville, and they wound up co-writing "Father In A Bible." A stark rumination on a fatherless upbringing, the song's unfiltered storytelling-underlined by wisdom-far-beyond-his-years-reacted with listeners right out of the gate. Thus far, it has gathered over 7.6 million Spotify streams and counting. He maintained this momentum and served up "Peace With Pain," which explored losing his uncle to addiction. The latter amassed north of 6 million Spotify streams, and he inked a deal with Atlantic Records. Now, the troubadour holds nothing back on his hard-hittingly heartfelt and honest debut EP, Chattanooga Tapes.
