a star in the making
Jonathan helped us land a publishing deal with BMG. Very perfessional,timely, and polite. I would recommend him to any artist or writer looking to further his career with landing a publishing or record deal.

Most reliable guy I've worked with
He worked with my band on a number of issues and contract negotiations and every time we felt taken care of and like he was really seeking out our best interest. Would love to work with him in the future and would suggest to anyone on the fence to just do it. This is your guy!
