Notable TV caught up with rising hip hop performer and producers, Miles Jones at his studio. Miles Jones is a rising star in the Toronto hip-hop scene, but for those who know him best this does not come as a surprise. Bass runs through Jones’ veins. His grandfather helped pioneer the reggae movement at Studio One in Jamaica where Bob Marley and many others recorded their first big hits, while his father Hedley Jones aka Deadly Hedley Jones Jr. was an influential DJ on CFNY-FM and the early Toronto club scene.

Miles continues this tradition by being active in all aspects of music as a DJ, producer, emcee, songwriter and the owner of his own label Mojo Records & Publishing. A true student of the craft, Jones’ debut album One Chance also served as his thesis at McMaster University. The disc was released to critical acclaim and even helped garner Jones the 2007 Ontario Independent Music Award for Hip Hop Artist of the Year. Miles has also been recognized for his song writing talents. He helped contribute 11 songs to Sony BMG’s music catalog as part of the Canadian Idol songwriters conference.

In 2008 Miles Jones spread his music outside of his hometown in Toronto, traveling to Halifax for shows with T-Pain, Raekwon and the legendary KRS-ONE. He also showcased his own live set in Osaka Japan, all while recording material for his album Runaway Jones with the first single produced by Black Milk.
