Jono Grant (born 16 November 1979) is an English DJ, musician and vocalist, better known as a member of electronic music group Above & Beyond (alongside Tony McGuinness and Paavo Siljamäki)[1] and duo JODA (with Darren Tate). He is also a part owner of London-based electronic dance music labels Anjunabeats[2] and Anjunadeep.
Grant's sister, Charlotte, passed away in early 2015 on her 42nd birthday.[5][6] The passing of Charlotte led the group to create the 'Little Something fund', designated to help perinatal mental health and encourage and empower women on their road to recovery.[7]
Music careeredit
After meeting Siljamäki, in 2000, they released their first single, "Volume One" under the name Anjunabeats,[8] which would also be the name of the label they founded.[9]
Above & Beyond then teamed up with vocalist Justine Suissa and formed OceanLab in 2001,[10] which they scored their highest hit to-date, Satellite, in 2004.[11]
In 2000, Grant met Darren Tate while on tour in Tokyo, and released the single Let the Shine in released in 2003.[12] Two decades later, in 2020 Above & Beyond teamed up with Tate to compose the score "The Last Glaciers" (released 2022), a year that also saw the return of the Jono Grant/Darren Tate duo collaborating as a song-writing partnership under the name of JODA.[13]
Jono Grant is the brother of James Grant, who acts as Above & Beyond's artist manager, and who together founded the Anjunadeep label in 2006, this time focusing on Deep House.[14]
Following a moderate success of Volume One, Liam McGuinness (Tony's brother) got in touch with Jono Grant who later, alongside Siljamäki, helped him to finish a remix of Chakra – Home, leading to what would be the birth of Above & Beyond.[16]
Other than electronic synthesizers, Jono Grant plays piano and the Fender Rhodes[17] as well performing lead vocals on tracks like "1001 (Is It Love?)", "Diving Out of Love"[18] and the band's cover of New Order's "Blue Monday".[19]
In 2022, Grant partnered with Darren Tate on a new indie project called JODA.[20]
