But a record knows the songs it knows. And it knows how to be beautiful. And how to wait.
A Little More
dang you gotta read Again? shame.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Jonathan is the third generation of the Brooklyn audio company Grado Labs, bringing the company to Mashable's Top Eight Most Social Small Companies in America and the company into its seventh decade.
Jonathan has worked with companies such as Pokémon (childhood dream) and A24 Films (grownup childhood dream). He’s been featured in a commercial for American Express, and a few shows for NBC, CNN, and Vice, among others.
Growing up on a workbench watching headphones go from a sketch on a napkin to a physical piece of equipment, Jonathan became fascinated by the smaller details in a full picture. This attention to detail comes forward through his creative and photographic work.
