Musician / YouTuber
Jonathan Young is a singer, songwriter & music producer with over 2 million YouTube subscribers, best known for his deep baritone voice, vibrant fusion-metal style, and viral “nerdcore” albums such as Starship Velociraptor, Helldivers Heavy Metal, 40K Heavy Metal and Sea Shanty Metal. Despite getting his start as a cover artist reimagining nostalgic Disney & Anime anthems, Jonathan has become a trailblazer – completely reinventing what it means to be successful in the landscape of online music creators with over 500+ music credits across his 12-year career alongside “industry” and “influencers” alike – bands like Three Days Grace, Bilmuri and Alestorm, creators like Caleb Hyles, Colm McGuinness, Annapantsu, Brandon McInnis and Ninja Brian (of NSP), and brands like Magic: The Gathering, Baldur’s Gate 3, Beyblade, and Dragonball Super.
When he’s not making music, Jonathan keeps accidentally turning his hobbies into jobs. Playing D&D every weekend turned into “Dungeon Playlist”, a side channel where Jonathan and his sister Emma compose all-original boss fight music specifically designed for D&D campaigns or TTRPGs. Grinding games of Magic: The Gathering quickly turned into guest appearances on shows like Game Knights and Commander at Home… and foam swordfighting with Brian Kibler in Los Angeles quickly turned into staffing at local SoCal high-fantasy LARP, Twin Mask. Jonathan is a committed ally to LGBTQ+ & neurodivergent people. If you read this bio, show it to Jonathan at his booth for a free sticker.
