Jon Jonsson started to attend his local music school in Hafnarfjordur at the age of 6 and at the age of 8, he began to pursue classical guitar lessons in the same school. Being rich in energy when growing up, the guitar always filled Jon with ease. When Jon was 10 years old, his father taught him a few chords on the guitar, which was different from the focus on finger picking in the classical lessons. Jon started to combine those skills to write his own songs, at the age of 11.
