Weava is a 21-year old producer/songwriter/vocalist, with a strong urban and contemporary vibe. He has a gifted voice that embodies soulfulness, passion, and inspiration. A 2011 International Songwriter's Contest semi-finalist ("Info" and "You N Me" from 2010 Black Collar project) and 2008 contest winner ("Say So" from Inside Out cd), it is evident that this young man has the musical talent and the entertainment ingenuity to captivate audiences of all races, ages, and genres. This Hoover, AL native is a talented singer, songwriter, musician, and producer. He is also an accomplished pianist, and at a very young age began writing and singing his own songs. In 2005, he assisted in the musical production for the stage play "Mama I'm Your Child" performed in Atlanta, Georgia. He also had the privilege of performing in the Bobby Jones gospel talent search competition and was a guest musician for The Birmingham Pledge, a race relations foundation founded on the premise of eliminating racism one person at a time. June 2008, he released his debut cd Inside Out and performed before a sell-out crowd in Pelham, Alabama. WEAVA was a guest artist on Detroit's WGPR 107.5 FM the following July in an effort to promote his new cd. His newest project "May Day", released May 1, 2011, shows his many talents as he touches many genres in his songs. Born Jonathan Weaver, this former high school running back, has been influenced by both traditional gospel music and old school R&B superstars and these influences can be heard in both his lyrics and vocals. WEAVA is clearly an accomplished musician and songwriter. His songs speak of experiences and emotions that only years of wisdom should have the ability to convey; yet somehow this teenager can express every thought appropriately. He is often compared to his older counterparts, Usher, Tank, and Jagged Edge. Like these successful performers, he is a self-motivated multi-talented artist whose style can appeal to almost every R&B, Hip Hop, and Adult Contemporary fan. He knows how to immerse his lyrics in hard-hitting street tracks and blazing drum beats that everyone can relate to. He recently graduated with Recording Arts and Music Business degrees from Full Sail University in 2011 and relocated to Glendale, CA. Since then he has run studio sessions and produced tracks/wrote lyrics for Interscope Records, Blackground Records, Mario, Crystal Nicole Johnson (Cri$tyle), Young Berg, Young Yonny, Tiffany Johnson, K. Michelle, Rev. Lonnie Weaver and Genesis, and other notable artists. If your needs entail making music through innovation, technology, integrity, originality, and professionalism, Jonathan "Weava" Weaver is the producer, songwriter, and engineer for you.
