Career

This culminated in an appearance in British Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks. Jones appeared in one episode as a young bully called Toadface. Coming from a rock background, Jones decided upon acoustic rock as his platform, and began working with a number of talented and well respected producers. Through these projects, Jones started to develop his writing skills, began creating songs, and matured quickly as a solo artist.
The Benz
When he was 17, he formed a band with school friends. They started playing in their bedrooms or any other spaces they could find.

But as with most things situations and circumstances change and they called it a day in 2006.
Dance music
Roger Shah put Jones into dance music. He contacted him on MySpace because he was intrigued by his voice, and after a few conversations back and forth, the foundations of the hit "Going Wrong" was born. Jones had always been into rock but since he has been working with Armin and Roger, He has learned to love the trance scene. After the track was finished, "Going Wrong" was scheduled to be released on Rogers' Songbook, yet this was just the beginning of their new friendship and working relationship.
