Jonathan JB

NAME: JONATHAN GILL (JB), 21
OCCUPATION: STUDENT
LOCATION: CROYDON

JB grew up in Croydon and fell in love with music at the age of seven when he played the recorder, piano, flute and guitar.

At the age of nine, he joined the choir and went onto perform at the local church. JB concentrated on his music and began studying at The Centre for Young Musicians (CYM).

After leaving the CYM, JB stayed involved with the school music scene. He played Mercado in the play Mercado and was involved with the choir at school. He continued this until he was 15 but had to give it up due to the pressures from the school to concentrate on his promising Rugby career.

JB eventually decided that he wanted to sing more and took up vocal coaching during a year out before attending university. During this period, JB was contacted by Oritsé to try out for the band.
