Scales was born in San Francisco and was raised in a military family, spending time in Maryland, Virginia, Fort Bragg, and Germany before settling in North Carolina around the age of fifteen.[4][5] A saxophonist since high school, Scales took up the steelpan in 2002 and fell in love with the sound of the instrument.[6] Scales enrolled at Appalachian State University in 2002, and after graduating, he formed the jazz fusion quartet Jonathan Scales Fourchestra. The band's collaborative debut, Fourchestra, was released in 2013 on Ropeadope Records. 2014 ushered in Mixtape Symphony, a long-form album inspired by Roy "Future Man" Wooten, also released on Ropeadope Records, featuring compositions by both Scales and bassist Cody Wright.[7]
