Jonathan was born among the coalfields in 1992 and grew up in Bergkamen, in the beautiful Ruhr district. After dancing his name for 12 years, he put away his eurhythmics slippers and took his high school degree at a vocational college, focussing on educational science. Afterwards, he set out into the big wide world and spent a voluntary year abroad, in South Africa. 
Back in Germany, he worked as an assistant warehouse clerk and did an internship with Signed Media. In 2016, he moved to Hamburg, started training as a audio-visual media designer, and is now a budding “technical wizard”.
