Jon Nite is an artist/writer raised in Amarillo, TX. In that little Texas ranch house music was a way of life. His Mom's piano filled the rooms with hymns as his Dad strummed every chord out on a gut string guitar. Around that piano, he found roots; roots that grew deeper as Jon's older brother, Chris, filled up their stereo with rock, jazz, classical, and blues greats from around the world. Chris toured the U.S., Europe, and Asia with an orchestra at just fifteen years old, and he came back to Amarillo with stacks of musical souvenirs. But it was his sister who had a love for country that changed things. The stories, the simple, amazing melodies were like a map, and Jon felt it leading to Nashville. Jon cut his teeth and learned the craft of writing songs in Nashville where he attended Belmont university. He graduated just in time to watch the publishers he knew close their doors. So he played. He played any smoky hotel bar or coffee shop with a mic and a chair and eventually legendary places like the Bluebird. Paying dues brought him in touch with people who had a real heart for the singer/songwriter at NSAI. He was a finalist in the 2007 CMT/NSAI song contest for his song "Tell Me". In the summer of 2007 he toured clubs throughout the Southeast United States. In 2008, Jon signed a publishing deal with Zavitson Music Group and is currently working with the hit production team of Russ Zavitson (Kinleys, The Wilkinsons, Touched By an Angel, and Billy Ray Cyrus) and Ed Seay (Martina McBride, Blake Shelton) on his first project. Jon's voice can be found on a Grammy nominated country project and in the motion picture “Hot Rod” 2007. Jon's songs are little pieces of real life. Whether it is “Get Lost”, a look at someone raised in the country working through the frustration of a high rise world, or “Don't Lie” a song about being honest enough to say it's over, these songs are real. In “Tell Me”, you see an honest moment with two people on the verge of giving up on each other after making it through teen pregnancy, poverty, a cross country move, and years of late shifts to work through school. These songs feel like genuine pieces of life because they are.
