I have been meaning to listen to Jared Jones and Lust Not Love for quite some time. Everyone I know has been raving about how amazing Jones is as as songwriter and musician and I kept putting it on my list to check out. I finally get around to listen to him and I’m kicking myself for not listening sooner. Jones has a great deal of talent and his music is a nice blend of acoustic rock and upbeat jams. Don’t put put listening to him like I did. You’ll enjoy it. - RVAplaylist

Bio
I was born and raised in a small town in Virginia. I studied creative writing in college and quickly realized that if I wanted to make a living, I couldn't rely on my degree! To be fair, I've never truly looked beyond music for a career because I consider myself a songwriter first and foremost. Composition and performance began as early as high-school but I didn't start singing my own material until my sophomore year at Virginia Commonwealth University. Ever since that time, I've been developing my craft through countless hours of rehearsal and performance. My goal is simple: to make sense of the many emotions of life through my music.
Unfortunately, there is no formula. I tend to write my melodies first, then lyrics. As with any passion, there are your core influences and your current interests. This gives each song it's own flavor while still remaining unmistakably yours. Core influences?? People ask me this question everyday, and I never feel comfortable with it simply because I truly enjoy so many aspects of writing and performance. It would make for a long list, so I'll leave it up to your imagination…
