About This:
Hi, my name is Jonny Forbin and I am a singer/songwriter from Rydal, PA. I create music that is... Acoustic guitar driven indie-pop, with folk and classic rock influences. Some of the artists that have influenced me and my music are... My influences are quite varied and include: many great singer songwriters both past and present (eg. Cat Stevens, Carol King, Aimee Mann, Badly Drawn Boy, Jeremy Enigk, Jack Johnson and many others) ; Also, many great bands of past and present mostly indie or classic rock (eg. - Blood Sweat and Tears, Coldplay, and many others) ; and many other genres like traditional ska, some electronic and ambient music, traditional folk, some jazz, classical, etc. My thoughts on the power of music are... It can be mood altering and uplifting on an individual experiential level, and it can unify people through a shared emotional connection to a performance or song. In both of these respects it also has great healing power, through individual emotional connection to music or a song, and by feeling connected to a group, when enjoying a performance/concert together. In my opinion those are the major and most important powers of music in a general sense. However, there are other more specific powers of music to mention as well, such as political symbolism and rallying (eg. several musical artists contributions to the advancement of civil rights through music in the 60's and 70's). Also, another major power of music is to bring different cultures together, and to document and preserve various culture's histories. I could go on about all of these, but this is a good summary. My mission as a musician is... To Bring Joy and Love to the world. To find out more about me, you can visit... www.sonicbids.com/jonnyforbin http://www.blacklabelreviews.com/pop.htm
