The man born Jonathan Grey forged a place for himself in Ibiza’s rich musical history with his eclectic and varied all-day sets on the beach at Las Salinas in the early 90s, becoming so entrenched in the culture, he almost had no choice but to take on the name of the beach bar where he’d built his reputation.
25 years on, he remains one of the island’s most recognised musical figures, maintaining his residency at Sa Trinxa and returning playing venues such as Space on a regular basis.
Come and see Jon in action for the first time at Spiritland this May.
