“What a beautiful song ‘The one that got away’…. I am positive it will touch many hearts (like it touched mine).”
Kathleen (JM Fan, MySpace)
In an era where commercial radio play and chart success is dominated by major label artists, Jon’s success in this domain is a reflection of his ability to write songs that connect with listeners - songs that mirror the emotions of the human condition intertwined with timeless and inspirational themes, positive messages, and observations of modern culture.
Shift was released in Canada through Flying Disc Records and in Europe through UK label Escape Music in 2010. The album builds upon the genre-defying diversity Jon has always brought to his music. Recorded in Halifax and Toronto with producer and co-writer Creighton Doane, Shift features 10 tracks of energetic rock with infectious hooks, including the remixed CHR/Dance version of Jon's hit single Make You Move.
"Mullane's pop songs have a mass appeal, not just in North America but globally...”
Bob Mersereau, Telegraph Journal
In 2008, Jon’s song Make You Move was chosen by NBC TV for their Summer Olympic promo commercials. The tune brought Jon’s sound to North America in a big way. It achieved multi-format chart success and garnered extensive radio airplay. In 2009, Make You Move was nominated for Single of the Year at the East Coast Music Awards.
“Shift continues where my last album, The Source, left off – a shift in momentum, a shift in direction, and a shift in energy”, says Jon.
Released through Universal Canada in 2007, Jon’s ‘renaissance debut’ The Source, produced by Haywire’s David Rashed, found success internationally through Jon’s following in Europe and Asia as well as in North America. The power pop single, Go The Distance garnered extensive radio play in Canada and hit the number one position on the iconic U.S. music industry publication Cashbox on their Indie Rock chart. The album also received a 4 ½ star review from the magazine.
Having lost both parents while still very young, then overcoming a potentially career-ending case of tinnitus, Jon Mullane has laid everything on the line for his career. Whether it's his fascination with UFOs (hence, the name-source of his own Flying Disc Records), his status as a former tennis pro, his degree in psychology or even his venturing towards law school – before being wisely put back on the music path by those who recognized his emerging talent.
