Electronica songwriter and producer Jonathan vanAtom joined Black Cloud Productions in June 2010 and brings a host of great tracks to the roster.
Jonathan vanAtom began writing music when he was thirteen after discovering the independent electronica scene online. Shortly after, he produced his first album under the name, Baby Blue. When he was fifteen, he moved to Melbourne, Australia where he was heavily influenced by the mainstream dance music scene and began to do solo work. The next three years were a time of musical growth as Jonathan became more acquainted with the modern technology and software that make today's music possible. He released his first solo album in 2003, "Hardclass of 2003" just before moving back to the US. After this, he spent most of his time entering indie remix contests and focusing on his online presence through other platforms.
In 2005, Jonathan won the Aruna Remix Contest hosted by Sony's ACIDplanet website. The events that followed helped to strengthen and solidify Jonathan's musical direction and goals. The winning remix of "Break You Open" also helped start Aruna's career as a singer/songwriter for dance music. She has since worked with top trance acts like ATB, George Acosta, The Thrillseekers, Mike Shiver, Myon & Shane 54 and Cosmic Gate. His remix of "Break You Open" also appeared in a Sonic: The Hedgehog fanimation on deviantART called "Sonic Epilogue." This, unexpectedly, increased Jonathan's popularity in Anime community around the world.
In 2006, Jonathan started taking music classes at community college and in 2008, he began attending Berklee College of Music in Boston. Here, Jonathan gained a huge amount of musical and technical knowledge in a very short period of time. In 2010, he began working with producer and recording artist, BT on the next generation of electronic music.
