Music Composition/Songwriting

Jonathan has a rich musical background as a composer, producer, and performer. His proficiency in piano, guitar, and drums has enabled him to perform in highly skilled chamber group settings as well as in large-scale musical productions. Because of this diversity of experience, he has been able to work with musical styles ranging from pop tunes to cinematic scores. His award-winning compositions have been featured in live performances, film, video games, and more. Additionally, he writes worship songs and arrangements that are actively sung in several local churches. Jonathan has taught music since 2010 and has been with Bellevue’s School of Performing Arts since the fall of 2016. His passion has been to help his students reach their goals, whether they are developing instrumental skills, pursuing music academically, composing for various media, or getting published on platforms such as iTunes and Spotify. Jonathan has earned a Bachelor of Arts in Music Composition from the University of Memphis, with an emphasis in piano performance, and a Master of Theological Studies from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He currently resides with his wife, Becca, and son, Jacob, in Millington, Tennessee, where he serves as the Minister of Worship at Lucy Baptist Church.‍
