A powerhouse recording artist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, Quinton Jones believes “music is a means of expressing oneself, with the only limitations being what you set”, and prides himself on evading definitive genre labels. His debut single “So You, So You” was released in 2017. Since then, he has released two additional singles: “Don’t Do It (feat. Jouri Frazer)” in 2019, and “Racing” in 2021. His music can be found on all major streaming services. With influences in pop, EDM, jazz, hip-hop, R&B, Gospel, and more, this genre-blending musician can deliver a bit of everything; singing, playing, and rapping—but at the core of all this expression lies the common denominator: Quinton Jones.
