About

Folk singer-songwriter Jose Gonzalez was born in Sweden to Argentinean parents and grew up listening to Latin folk and pop music. After stints performing in punk and hardcore bands as a teenager, Gonzalez launched his solo career with 2003's Veneer, a collection of entirely acoustic tracks that earned comparisons to Elliot Smith and Nick Drake. The album spawned hit singles "Crosses" and "Heartbeats" -- the latter a cover version of The Knife's 2003 track -- both of which became soundtrack staples for television shows like The O.C., One Tree Hill, and Scrubs. In 2005 Gonzalez teamed up with drummer Elias Araya and keyboardist Tobias Winterkorn to form the folk rock trio Junip. He returned to his solo career in 2007 with his sophomore album In Our Nature, which cracked the Top 5 of Billboard's Heatseekers Albums chart. He has since then released numerous albums and traveled the world to perform.
