Why my music is for free…

Posted by Jonay On August - 28 - 2010

Pretty often I get the question, why am I giving away my music for free? (for none commercial use) Well here are 2 reasons.
1. Music is my passion and I want to share that passions with as much people as possible. The best way for me is to make it available for free. Since I’m a good position to give it away (see point 2) I decide to do so.

2. The time and effort I put in, I get it back by your support, your promotion and your donations. The moment you decide to share one of my songs with  friends, on your blog, in your videos or on social networks such as twitter and facebook, you contribute to my free music.  The moment you decide to donate because you like my music you contribute to my free music.  When there are sites like Jamendo they contribute to my free music.

I hope this great relation between me and you will stay strong for a very long time. And of course the most important thing  for me is to make  good music so you feel comfortable to do your part :)

Vacation pictures

Posted by Jonay On August - 4 - 2010

Two weeks went by like two hours…shhwiiish, suddenly I’m back in Sweden again. Theory of relativity in action I guess…
And I think the saying that the weather in Sweden is best during August is a myth.Since my arrival  it’s been raining for three days! I’m not overreacting when I say that I’ve already started looking for a flight out of this misery :)
I promised to share some of my vacation pictures with you, so here are few.
Unfortunately I suck at wordpress, yes I’m not ashamed to admit that :) so I have no idea how to present the pictures as a nice gallery. Until I figure it out,  my dropbox gallery is my solution,  here is the link -vacation pictures

Hope you enjoy them.



Summer update+interview

Posted by Jonay On July - 10 - 2010

Hello happy people!
I’ve realized that I’m not updating the blog as much as I want, several reasons for that.
1. The World Cup. Yes I’ma soccer freak :)
2. The Sunny weather. If you live in Sweden and the sun is shining you just got to make sure to embrace it.
3.Wordpress. Still haven’t been able to find an really effective way to use it. The update process feels sort of diffuse and not so motivational. So If you have any good tips on any good wordpress update procedures, please share it with me!

Next SundayI’m also off for a two week long vacation. Flying to Turkey! I’ll post some  pics during my vacation and share it with you.

As a last note, check out the interview the german site http://www.campusmaedchen.de/ did with me. If you are not german then google translate is your friend :)

I wish all of you a wonderful summer and that you create plenty of new exciting memories!

cheers,
Jonay




Up way north plus some classic hiphop

Posted by Jonay On April - 1 - 2010

Last time I updated the blog was when I was going to Norway to snowboard. So haven’t I done anything exciting since then?

Been traveling and exploring things as usual. This has been my route the last three weeks. Travel











But honestly I wish it was more like this.

travel2






But I’ll leave that to maybe after the summer.

——————————————————–

Besides traveling I had the chance to see Method Man live here in Stockholm, and it was an awesome show, he has great energy on stage, to bad he didn’t perform more of his classic songs.

But this one he did, straight classic!

Do you know where you are going?

Posted by Jonay On January - 9 - 2010

So here we are, 2010, the holidays are over and for most of you everything is back to normal…

Was 2009 a good year for you?

For me it was, I achieved  my goals, and  now I’m in a position  where I can look back and feel proud of the things I’ve accomplished, both on a personal and musical level.

But now I’m thirsting for more and you should too… new year means new goals…

So… do you know where you are going this year?


My Christmas gifts

Posted by Jonay On December - 22 - 2009

As I mentioned yesterday, I would compensate the problem with the downloads with an exclusive package. So here it comes, three personal favorite songs that I had to put my touch on.

These songs  have only been available for subscribers to my newsletter,  but during Christmas it will be available for everyone.
Exclusive

On top of that here are also two ringtones:
Swedish Ladies

Fly Away

Enjoy your holidays people!

Downloading problem solved

Posted by Jonay On December - 21 - 2009

The music player has been fixed.
You can now listen and download all songs.

Thank you for your patience.

Meanwhile, stay tuned. The exclusive package is on its way.

Problem with downloads-fix on its way

Posted by Jonay On December - 21 - 2009

Just been aware of the problem with the music player and that it isn’t possible to download each song separately. Fix is on it’s way. In the meantime I guess you have to go with the whole package :)

Since it is almost Christmas, I will compensate that during this week (before Christmas) with a nice exclusive package that hasn’t been available on the site before…
