After an eight year tenure being a music teacher in Sacramento, California; singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jon Wiilde made the jump from his day job to pursue his dreams of being an artist and musician full time. Within the first few weeks of professional dream chasing, videos of him singing snippets of unreleased original music began to go viral on TikTok (all from the setting of his bathroom shower mind you), and Jon began to grow a budding and loyal fanbase from the app. On record, Wiilde showcases an innate ability to meld the past nostalgic feelings of the music he grew up on with the sonics of today. All while presenting his songs in a distinct way that is one-of-one; truly personal. With Hip Hop driven rhythms, psychedelic textures, and raw honest delivery, Jon is here to stay. Eclectic influences of Mac Miller, The Beatles, Kid Cudi, MGMT, and Funkadelic all seem to be a root of this 2022 breakout artist. While what the future holds may be unclear, it will be exciting to look out for what comes from Mr. Wiilde. Main Profile picture 📸: Carlos Almanza Jr.
