About Jonathan Roy 

Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify 

Following the same commitment to raw authenticity that fueled 2021’s My Lullaby, Montreal-born artist Jonathan Roy has further honed his singular alt-pop sound in Life Distortions, the fullest expression yet of his evolution as both a person and artist. While still featuring the strong hooks and melodies that made his music so popular in the early years of his career, the sonic terrain of this album is truer to Jonathan than anything else he’s done to date.

Jonathan tapped Juno award-winning musician/producer Brian Howes (Hinder, Skillet, Nickelback) to help produce the EP, along with Marc Beland, the drummer/percussionist in Jonathan’s band and one of his go-to creative partners for years now. Other producers on the Life Distortions include Tee (Drake, Alessia Cara), Stevie Aiello (Thirty Seconds To Mars, Of Mice & Men), Drew Polovick (Oston, Friday Pilots Club), and Heavy (lovelytheband, Dirty Heads). Surrounding himself with collaborators he trusts, Jonathan is following his own vision and eager for fans to experience what’s ahead.

Generating millions of streams and earning widespread acclaim from Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, Atwood Magazine, Paste, and Variance, the Australia-born and Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist provokes big questions by way of intimate song craft on his 2023 EP, 'The Place To Start'. “On the EP, there are philosophical themes of existentialism,” he observes. “Many of the songs are about the acceptance of death, what life is, and why we’re here.” The record was recorded in Joshua Tree and features collaborations with Joshua Keogh of Amber Run, Keaton Henson, VÉRITÉ, WYNNE, and Emily James. Portair began to incite conversation with a series of independent releases in 2018. Emerging as a sought-after songwriter and producer, he composed original scores and contributed music to programming across NETFLIX, NBC, MTV, CBS, and beyond. His 2020 solo single “Lying To Myself” amassed millions of streams and paved the way for The Light That Gives EP [2021] and The Ice That Breaks EP [2022]. Meanwhile, “Gloaming Hour” unassumingly achieved viral impact on TikTok with millions of plays. In 2023 alone, Portair has toured multiple times across The United States, Canada and Australia in a slew of support runs opening for SYML, City Of The Sun, Begonia and Mystery Skulls as well as a sold out headline show in LA and a sold out Australian co-headline tour with Go-Jo. In the end, Portair connects through examining what it means to be human.
