Jonny Southard

Jonny Southard is a modern classical pianist and composer from the UK. He started piano at age 6 and since, music has remained a central part of his life through and beyond his studies at postgraduate level. Growing up, Jonny's interest in a variety of music planted the seeds for a diverse range of musical influences, including the folk-like harmonies you hear in some of his music today. After 13 years of classical piano training, combined with a fascination of music's power to trigger emotion, the sound world he creates today bridges the gap between the ambience of film soundtracks and the elegance of impressionism. With a distinct depth of emotion, Jonny Southard’s uniquely sensitive works epitomise the piano’s ability to elicit reflection of the human soul, with bright and beautiful melodies thriving inside a passionate and melancholic soundworld. Driven by a dedicated fanbase, Jonny's independent releases have received worldwide recognition, with over 44 million streams on Spotify alone. He has appeared on several editorial playlists, as well as compilations including Recollections Vol. 1 to 10 with Kyle McEvoy and Dear, Piano with Illuminine. Jonny has worked with other notable artists including Jesse Brown, Brique a Braq and We Dream of Eden. Jonny also releases jazz and pop piano under the alias, Ben Napper.
