The J.Viewz project was established by Jonathan Dagan mid 2002. Whilst working with the band Violet Vision (see below) on their 2nd album, Jonathan used his spare time to record a solo project. Taking many diverse musicians into the studio, The J.Viewz project started to metamorphosize into ‘freestyle chill’ – blending elements of soft breakbeat, trip-hop, 2 ste ...p, jazz and more, all in a mellow groove.

The first J.Viewz track was released on the “Chillout sessions 2” compilation by Blanco y Negro Music of Spain (alongside Sinead O’Connor, Sneaker Pimps, Mike Oldfield, Paul Oakenfold, Massive Attack, and more) This feature has proven to be a great kick-start, given that later that year J.Viewz received many licensing requests from labels based in Germany, UK, Greece, Sweden, Holland, India, Australia, Taiwan, Israel, Russia, USA and more. Some compilations also featured acts like Moloko, Air, Erykah Badu, Mylo and Jill Scott, just to name a few…

In April 2005 the debut album of J.Viewz titled "Muse Breaks" has been released worldwide by Deeplay Music. Just before its release, the famous Trance duo "Infected Mushroom" has made the perfect teaser for this album: a remix of "Muse Breaks" was released in their album "I'm the Supervisor". This album sold close to 90,000 copies and made the remix a huge dancefloor hit.

The First single of J.Viewz called "Your Country" has entered numerous charts, including DJ Mag's hype chart, Ministry of Sound's radio chart and DMC UPDATE Chart. The single received excellent reviews in the press, and was played by international radio stations like Kiss100FM, Ministry of Sound radio, Radio 1, etc’…

In April 2006 that same single won 3rd place in the International Song Writing Competition under the Dance/Electronica category. According to the New-York Times ISC is “THE songwriting competition to take note of”.

In November 2005 J.Viewz was chosen to produce an official remix to Nina Simone.
Jonathan chose to remix “See line Woman” and the result got signed for the jazz remixes series “Rewound & Reworked”.

These days the second J.Viewz album is in the making, not much can be revealed at this stage other than this album will feature some interesting guests (Big-bands, orchestras) including the Three-time Grammy award winning master drummer Glen Velez, and will be well worth the wait!
Glen will also participate in a new EP which will be released soon, this EP also includes a new edit of the Nina Simone remix, and a couple of live show recordings.
