Super-Dope Soul Artist: Jonas

Another MySpace discovery, Jonas is one soulful white boy! Hailing from Denmark, he seems to have been making his mark in Europe - hopefully it won't be too long before he brings his music to the US. If you dig D'Angelo, Robin Thicke and the like, you should definitely check out Jonas' album "Sweet Dreams Guaranteed" which is available at CDBaby.
For more info on Jonas, visit his official site.

That's what I'm talkin' about!!
