Featured on his first studio recording at age five, Jonathan was singing before he could walk. In his teenage years, his love for band music led him to begin writing for wind ensemble groups and marching bands. His first full band composition was performed when he was fifteen years old. Since then, his passion for instrumental music education has led him to create educationally grounded & achievable music for the modern marching ensemble all published through his business Jonathan Martin Music. Additionally, he is a freelance composer who has written and arranged music for large churches in the Midwest including Dream City Church in Phoenix, AZ and Crossway Baptist Church in Springfield, MO. His arrangements have also been heard on the Dino & Friends Christmas Holiday Gathering show in Springfield, Missouri. Currently, Jonathan’s company serves educators and educational groups in seven different states throughout the Midwest with growing reach all around the country. At any given time, Jonathan’s music can be heard on the marching band field, in band classrooms, churches, and performance halls around the country.
