Jonathan Fields, a drummer based in Cleveland, Oh is known for his colorful and innovative sound. Jonathan was born in Zanesville, OH, where his desire for music began in church. When he was a child he practiced by playing the pews, couch, and all the pots and pans he could find until his parents recognized his relentless passion and bought his first full size drum set. At the age of 9 years old Jonathan ended up in Cleveland OH, where it all started. While studying mentors such as, Marvin McQuitty, Dennis Chambers, Teddy Campbell, his hometown hero’s and more, Jonathan developed his unique style of playing drums. As a result Jonathan started playing drums professionally at the age of 16 receiving calls to play for many events/churches/clubs in Northeast Ohio and occasionally San Francisco CA.
Throughout his overseas touring, Jonathan emerged as a MD (Musical Director) becoming the first youngest leader in the company. Returning to the States in 2014, he began to engage and teach children how to play drums. He urges the younger generation to be organic and stay true to the music. After a short time being home Jonathan’s life changed once again after joining “Red Hands” an amazing stellar nominated inspirational band who have touched many lives throughout the world with their music. Jonathan went on to complete two Seasons of NBC’s hit TV show named Songland. As well as playing w/ grammy winning artist Khalid headlining Coachella in 2019.
Jonathan is recognized as a very humble drummer and when asked about his success, he gives all glory to God. “I believe that opportunities come from God and with hard work, practice, and patience you will go far in life.”
