LOS ANGELES, April 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- As a producer, engineer and musician, 23 year old, Midi Jones began making music at 12 and professionally at 18 years old under Motown Records legend Berry Gordy and his son, esteemed record exec Kerry Gordy. Growing up with notable industry family figures that included Norman Whitfield, (a Motown legend with hits including Marvin Gaye's "Heard It Through the Grapevine" and The Temptations "Papa Was a Rolling Stone"), it's no surprise that Midi developed an ear for a classic sound that would transform his evolving pop electronic style throughout his career.
SyncStories A&R & Operations Manager, Shannon Nicole Roc states, "I heard about a producer named Midi Jones and when I listened to his records, I knew I found a hidden gem. The level of his production and the intensity of his sound was enough for me to know that SyncStories had to work with him. I shared his music with our founder, Eric Vasquez, and SyncStories signed him immediately."
As an in-demand emerging producer, Midi's quickly becoming a "go-to" for major label artists. Recent releases include Jadagrace (Capitol Records), slated Smokey Robinson release (Motown Universal) and Avalon Young (American Idol Season XV top 8) featuring Xavier Omår which charted #2 on the iTunes R&B album charts and twice featured in Billboard. Midi is also a regular collaborator with songwriter, Sam Hook (The Game, Miley Cyrus, Nick Jonas) and worked on records for Kurupt, Brillz, Kyan, Esta (Soulection) and Ronnie DeVoe (New Edition, Bel Biv DeVoe).
In early 2017, SyncStories signed Midi to a multi-year publishing deal. The relationship began naturally through company A&R efforts in late 2016. With momentum and excitement beyond the horizon, 2017 is as bright as ever for this budding wonder kid.
