Jon Mulvey
About Jon Mulvey from Auckland
JON MULVEY hails from Los Angeles, California, where he picked up his first guitar when he was just seven years old. Formal Jazz guitar training started at age 11 and he began touring internationally at 15 with top acts. He earned a music composition degree in the Bay Area and then studied under guitar great Joe Satriani.
After vaulting onto the world stage, Mulvey directed his expertise to the studio, where he has participated in over 1500 recordings including his own Studio 101. But playing guitar, bass, or keys, as well as engineering, producing, and mastering albums in the studio, are only a few of his talents.
For ten years he was a member of Mingus, with Dorian Mingus (son of legendary Jazz Bassist/Composer Charles Mingus). Although the band Mingus was on Charlie Mingus’ prestigious Debut Records, it was not a jazz band--more like Stone Temple Pilots on steroids. In the tradition of STP or Led Zepplin, the classic line-up of bass, guitar and drums with Dorian Mingus on vocals was ahead of it’s time.
He has started a new label, Two Hearts Records, focused on world and instrumental music with his partner, Deborah Yates. Mulvey is also a sponsored clinician for Peavey Amps and Ibanez Guitars. Mulvey combines his formidable training with innate talent to help shape his projects’ unique sounds, which include world fusion band Vortex Tribe, acoustic world Due Cuori and his solo projects, including Jon Mulvey’s Rockethouse!
