Bio:
Over the generations, the San Francisco Bay Area has been breeding grounds for some of the most revolutionary music to ever be released. Dating way back to the futuristic funk of Sly & the Family Stoneall the way up to Too $hort, E-40 and Mack Dre, that cool Northern California flavor has consistently created the newest innovations in urban music.
Keeping true to the tradition of making classic material, Bay Area native son Jonah Melvon is initiating the most cutting-edge musical movement to emerge from the region in decades. With his spanking new album Rain Water Project and a whopping three new singles “What’s Good for You,” “1099” and “Thinkin of You,” this multi-talented rapper/singer/songwriter is rapidly rising to the top of the charts.
“My music is raw. It’s lyrical; it’s socially conscious. If I’m rhyming or singing, it has a lot of depth in it. It has some level of healing, some level of consciousness,” he explains. “My music is the Bay. The Bay lives in my music.”
Born in San Francisco to a mother who migrated from New Orleans and father from Chicago, Jonah moved to North Oakland with his family before he could barely walk and raised in a quiet, middle-class area known as Lake Merritt. And while his two-parent home was stable, the same couldn’t be said when he ventured away from home.
“I played sports, and sports took me everywhere. I was playing ball in places like East Oakland, and it was very scary,” he laughs. “A part of that was this area we used to call The Village, where I played baseball in a neighborhood that had crack houses behind me. So I’m 12 years old in left field, nervous if something was going to go down.”
He continued to play baseball and football all through high school and even played a season at a local junior college. He would not delve into music, however, until his sister and cousin convinced him. His sister Adesha was an aspiring singer who had made quite a name for herself locally and needed someone to produce some music for her.
So Jonah and his cousin lent her a hand and started producing tracks for her. He wouldn’t start making his own music, however, until a few years later when he was attending San Jose State University. He met a couple of guys who believed in his music and suggested he record his own sounds. Jonah took them up on the offer, and before he knew it, he had cultivated a local following. Before it was all said and done, Jonah had recorded eight demo CDs and made a hefty profit selling them hand to hand.
“My dreams were cultivated in Oakland. My discipline was cultivated in San Jose,” he reflects.
Riding the momentum of his popularity, he released his first full-album in 2009 called This Is the Year. To promote his music while earning some steady income, Jonah assembled a live band called So Timeless. And over the few years, they paid the bills by playing at local clubs, weddings, parties and anywhere else that would book them.
They played with the likes of R&B star Miguel, Goapele, Ledisi, T.I., EPMD, Black Eyed Peas and Heiro, just to name a few.
“You can make a living playing seven nights a week in the Bay,” says Jonah. “We got hired a lot, so we got lost in making money, which is a good problem to have. But I knew that I couldn’t continue doing cover tunes of other people’s music if I wanted to concentrate on my own branding.”
So Jonah stepped down from the band, started another company Left University and landed a job as a songwriter for a music label. But when he wrote a song that charted on Billboard, Jonah came to the boss and asked for either his publishing rights from his music or a bigger check upfront. When the boss declined his offer, Jonah jumped ship.
“Most people don’t want you to have equity in business,” he divulges. “Once I started asking about equity, there was a problem. Everybody was making money off me but me.”
Now with all of that behind him, Jonah Melvon can finally concentrate on building his own brand. With a charisma that cannot be defined, old school soul and a message mixed in with his mesmerizing melodies, his music draws people to him with a familiar flare that makes people fall in love with his smooth swag. And he puts his talents on full display with the recent release of full-length album Rain Water Project and three lead singles “What’s Good for You,” “1099”and “Thinkin of You.”
“I knew I had to do my own music when so many people kept coming up to me and asking, if I had any of my own original work,” Jonah explains. “This is what the people have asked for, which makes this process even more special.”

Being alone in an unfamiliar environment inspired me to write about my strength and confidence. I’m a young widow and single mom. Depression and anxiety hit me and has been a challenge, but putting it to writing (and singing) strengthened my coping skills. “Don’t You Dare!” aims to inspire everyone to use the challenges, failures, criticisms, rejections and even mental health setbacks as stepping stones to rise up and do more to achieve their goals. That’s exactly what I did and I thank these circumstances for helping me become a stronger and better person.

The platform is specifically designed for musicians in any stage of their career, from unsigned independent artists to established superstars. It provides artists with a convenient and hassle-free way to generate additional income every month, while being in complete control of the process.
Brady Seals, formerly of Little Texas and had a solo career with a few singles on Warner Brothers, is now an independent artist. “The truth is, most streaming platforms don’t pay artists fairly,” says Seals. “OohYah offers a way to let my fans subscribe directly to me.”
According to Seals, the OohYah platform is completely different to other traditional streaming services:
“OohYah puts artists like myself in the driver’s seat and lets you monetize your fan base with ease,” states Seals. “OohYah all about bringing value to music and the artists who create it.”
To get started as an artist on OohYah is highly straightforward through a streamlined process:
Step 1 – Artists sign up on the platform.
Step 2 – Fans join for free and subscribe to artists.
Step 3 – Fans gain access to an artist’s music, once they agree to pay a monthly price that the artist sets.
Step 4 – The artist pays OohYah a very small fee, taking the vast majority of the payment for themselves.
OohYah is designed to help launch or nurture the careers of any artist. The company’s subscription model is the friendliest option on the market, with the ability for true fans to give their hard earned money to the artist, rather than the platform itself.
This formula, in turn, enables artists to enjoy a return on their investment that pays out each and every month.

Oliver Soerup and Stephan Weber going through their very special short trip to Led Zeppelin's famous song Kashmir.
A mini interview with Stephan Weber:
Where are you from? I am living in Heidelberg, Germany. Have you ever been here?
Describe your sound: In 'Short Trip To Kashmir' we mainly stick to an acoustic sound and cautious use of effects.
Tell us about your latest track: 'Short Trip To Kashmir' is an acoustic sounding intense deep dive into Led Zeppelin's famous song Kashmir. It's about the whole idea of life being an adventure and being a series of illuminated moments. Oliver Soerup played guitars, bass and percussion. I sang and played the bag-pipe-like keyboards.
Who inspires you? I guess there's no special person who inspires me and more, at least my sources of inspiration are not restricted to persons at all. There's so much if you just open your eyes, ears and mind.
Where do you see your career in 5 years? I'll hopefully write and record a lot of new songs after my last tour then.
Where can we check out your sounds? https://soundcloud.com/stephan_weber, https://open.spotify.com/artist/5U6DX5fs6HwQZResB0YQ1c
Tell us something about yourself that the people need to know: If somebody wants to know something about me he/she should not hesitate to ask.
