Early life Graham Jonson was born on August 4, 2000, in Portland, Oregon. He would frequently use his family's piano, even as a toddler, and his mother, a special-education teacher, played musicians such as John Denver, Dan Fogelberg, and James Taylor in their household. Jonson began to be interested in creating music after his cousin played "Harlem Shake" to his enjoyment. It led to him Googling trap music and eventually finding a community of producers on SoundCloud.
Career Jonson initially gained recognition as a teenager through his lo-fi hip hop instrumental beats that he released on SoundCloud. One such beat, "getsomerest/sleepwell", was reposted to a lo-fi YouTube channel and became very popular. Jonson moved to Los Angeles to try to garner connections, but he was unable to find any, eventually only making beats the whole time, and moved back after eleven months. he released his first studio album, The Long and Short of It, on August 20, 2021. He had to cancel the album's tour midway through due to financial concerns. On April 18, 2025, he Jonson released I Heard That Noise, his second album.
Influences and artistry Jonson describes his music as "Portland Music", characterized by its lofty, eclectic, and hard-to-categorize sound. He has stated that, in his new music, he wants to shed his previous reputation of a "Lo-Fi Beats To Study To" musician. Jonson frequently includes what he calls "musical jumpscares," where the song abruptly switches direction, in his music. He was inspired to do this by other Pacific Northwest-based artists such as The Microphones, Elliott Smith, Grouper, and Loscil. Jonson describes Mount Eerie as his favorite musician. When he was only making instrumental music, Jonson only listened to beats and was influenced by artists such as J Dilla, Madlib, The Pharcyde, and Burial, but started listening to much of The Beatles and D'Angelo when venturing into songwriting. Other influences include Dijon Duenas and Nick Drake.
