Testimonials

”Working with Jon from 7000apart was such an incredible experience. As someone who’s new to music, I was nervous going in but Jon made me feel so safe, seen, and comfortable from the start. He has this rare mix of talent and kindness that makes you feel completely free to create and be yourself.

Our session felt like a collaboration, not just production. He really listened, understood my vision, and brought it to life in a way that felt so me and my story. I left feeling inspired and grateful. Jon isn’t just an amazing producer — he’s the kind of friend that hears you and wants to help you create what you’re looking for.”
