Jono McCleery

**Jono McCleery** is a British singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for his soulful, atmospheric blend of folk, electronica, and jazz. Emerging from London’s vibrant acoustic scene in the late 2000s, McCleery carved out a niche with his hushed vocals and introspective lyrics, often weaving minimalist production with organic instrumentation. His work caught the attention of Ninja Tune’s Counter Records, where he released critically acclaimed albums like *Darkest Light* (2011) and *Pagodes* (2019), the latter inspired by a residency at Paris’ Musée Guimet.

Recent tracks like “Set Me Free” and “So Messed Up” showcase his knack for moody, emotionally rich storytelling, while live trio renditions (like *Songs From Pagodes*) highlight his collaborative spontaneity. McCleery’s music often feels like a late-night conversation—intimate, reflective, and quietly powerful. Though he keeps a low profile, his genre-fluid sound has earned him a devoted following and collaborations with artists like José González.
