    ABOUT MILES JONES
    Hailing from a long line of reputable musicians, Miles’ grandfather Headly Jones Sr. from Jamaica started Studio and was arguably the first to invent the electric guitar. His father Headly Jones Jr aka Deadly Headly was a DJ on CFNY and an early Toronto Club DJ pioneer. Miles went on to create a unique sound that honors the true origins of hip-hop and collaborate with A-list industry including Percee P, Detroit-based producer Black Milk, and most recently, Grammy award-winning producer Boi 1da. Miles has been the recipient of distinguished awards from the Billboard World Song Contest for “Hip Hop Song of the Year” (2010) and the Independent Music Awards for “Hip Hop Song of the Year” (2009) and “Hip Hop Artist of the Year” (2007). His music has been featured on major networks and hit television programs including CBS’ CSI: Las Vegas and the 2010 Winter Olympics. Most recently, Miles’ Boi 1da-produced single “Never Wrong” was nominated as a finalist for the International Songwriting Competition.

    “Those looking for the new names in hip-hop should perk up their ears the direction of rising Toronto rapper/producer Miles Jones, who offers up a mix of R&B, electro, reggae, and pop influences on his polished sophomore album, ‘Runaway Jones’. – AOL Spinner

    “A very dope emcee reppin’ T-Dot… This is the real deal.” – 2 Dope Boyz

    What a Nice Guy

    For the earlier half of this month Caleb, age 8, has been working on his Current Events Project Presentation for his class. The article he’s focused on is one about Toronto-turned-International music producer Boi-1da & the 2011 Juno Awards, out of NOW magazine. I took a picture of him(seen above), during one work session & tweeted it. The image was then taken and posted on @boi1da ‘s blog with the title saying, “Do this for y’all…”. Caleb is still talking about it! It means a lot to him, such a nice guy. Special thanx to @MarlyHustle of Sound Hustle.
