Growing up in the Midwest, Jones wrote his first song at the age of 13 and performed it in front of a black baptist church that he was attending at the time.

It was not unusual for Jones to skip town on a whim and make his way by playing on street corners throughout the U.S.-literally singing for his supper. After getting his feet wet singing throughout Chicago and the Midwest, Jones decided to test the Hollywood music scene. Months after succeeding in establishing connections and performing at various clubs, Jones returned home to the Midwest with a vivaciousness added to his writing skills, performance skills, and numchuck skills.

Jones has been frequently known to throw back a few which can sometimes lead to unintended brawls.
