Jonathan Butler is a South African singer-songwriter and guitarist, whose music is often classified as R&B, jazz fusion, or worship music. 

Jonathan’s commitment to his craft came to fruition with his self-titled debut album, which received a Grammy nomination for the pop hit “Lies.” An instrumental “Going Home” earned him another Grammy nomination and the mid-tempo ballad “Sarah, Sarah” confirmed Butler’s place in popular music.

He has recorded a dozen solo albums and made more than 25 guest appearances on records by Marcus Miller,  the Yellowjackets, and Dionne Warwick, among others. A prolific songwriter, he has written for pop artists including Patti LaBelle, Kenny Loggins, and Al Jarreau.  Although he has been likened to such jazz guitarists as George Benson, Wes Montgomery, and John Scofield, Butler has shied away from such comparisons, calling himself a “singer who plays guitar.”
