Jonathan grew up in Merseyside and started playing the horn at the age of ten with local teacher Alan Milnes. He then went on to study with Tim Jackson and Lindsey Stoker at the Junior Royal Northern College of Music, before joining Wells Cathedral School for his sixth-form studies, learning horn with Simon de Souza.

Jonathan has played principal horn in a variety of ensembles, including the Merseyside Youth Orchestra, National Youth Wind Ensemble, University of Manchester Symphony Orchestra and the RNCM Opera Orchestra and Brass Ensemble, and has had the privilege to play with the internationally renowned London Winds and All Souls Orchestra.

Jonathan is currently in his third year of the prestigious joint course between the University of Manchester (reading music) and the RNCM, with aspirations to continue his playing professionally. He will be making his concerto debut of 3rd June, playing Mozart's 3rd horn concerto with Con Fuoco chamber orchestra and this summer he will spend a week in Italy, playing for a conducting course with Gianandrea Noseda.
