Jon Butts is here.

Where is here exactly? Only he really knows.

As for where he’s been? Jon Butts is from filming home movies. He knows toy karaoke machines and talent shows, and his love of music and performance started young.

In 1990, Jon was born just outside of Chicago by way of Villa Park, IL. Relocating to the Atlanta, GA area in the fall of ‘99 would only fortify his passions. During those adolescent years, his adoration for live performance grew exponentially. From middle school onward, Jon found himself on stage.

In 2014, Jon relocated to New York City. The culmination of his years led him to the most challenging city in the country. Music, Theatre Performance, Photography, & Writing all converged in that creative petri dish. Now? He’s just sort of a Poor Man’s Donald Glover.

He continues to create because that’s all he can do.

Jon currently resides in St. Louis, MO with his wife and daughter.
