Jon Schmidt is a rare commodity in today's music world — he is an artist that will simply not play into a single musical genre. Often labeled a "New Age" artist, Jon takes the essence of New Age and turns it on its head. Adding elements of Rock 'n' Roll and Classical music, Jon takes New Age music to a place it has never been before.
With seven albums to his credit, Jon takes listeners on an exhilarating yet heart-felt musical journey. Jon's compositions rise above the "paint-by-numbers" songs of today. He has been able rescue the noble parts of New Age from the clutch's of "over extended synthesizers" to bring the listener exceptional, solid music that is fun and still poignant. From the Classical Piano stylings of the wildly popular "Waterfall" (which Jon wrote as a teenager) to the Rock 'n' Roll hybrid "Pachelbel meets U2," Jon has been able to find a pure sound that is distinctly his own without ever succumbing to the trappings of the music genre.
With his eclectic blend of sounds, Jon has produced a loyal following that is just as diverse as his musical interests. Jon's music has crossed the great divide finding an audience across the globe. While Jon sees himself as an American artist in the West, his music has touched people the world over, as anyone can see from the response to his music online. As Reuben Evans, a UK fan states, "[Jon is] Awesome! Simply Brilliant, the sort of music that stops you dead and demands that you listen."
Jon's music has not simply crossed cultural divides but generations as well. From pre-teens to post Baby Boomer, the diversity of Jon's audience is a unique as the music itself. As M. Durrell from Kansas states, "[Because] my husband AND my grandchildren enjoy Jon's music — it states volumes of the reach to all ages..."
Because of Jon's strong musical appeal, his sheet music continues to touch the new crop of fresh pianists. As thousands will attest, the "kid tested, parent/teacher approved" out"/>
