On the Record with WNXP: MT Jones

At the age of 8, MT Jones used to sit around and watch his uncle play the piano until he learned how to play on his own. Listening to  The Beatles early on, he watched Ray Charles' biopic, "Ray", starring Jamie Foxx and the documentary "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" about the Funk Brothers and started to immerse himself in soul music. He joined a band and began songwriting and all though he says those early writings were terrible, this is what got the ball rolling. Now UK soul singer/songwriter joined WNXP to talk developing as a songwriter, friendship with Jalen Ngonda, and releasing his debut record Joy.
