Jont’s latest release, “The Only Answer,” emerges as a song born from a profoundly introspective moment during a tumultuous time in the world. As Jont recounts, it came to him during a moment of clarity amidst an intense mushroom journey, following a conflict with a close friend. In the midst of a snowy landscape with freezing temperatures, he found solace in the repeated mantra: “the only answer is love.” This profound realization led to the creation of a song that delves into the theme of conflict resolution through love and understanding.
Initially conceived during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Jont spent three months crafting the song’s verses, bridge, and pre-chorus. Despite his initial doubts, he decided to share it with his girlfriend, who not only resonated with it but also sang along. The song gradually found its way into Jont’s performances, from gigs to cacao ceremonies and plant medicine ceremonies across the globe.
“The Only Answer” is more than just a song; it’s a medicine song, a soothing and meditative piece that connects with the listener on a deeper level. It’s not meant for the radio but rather as a source of solace and guidance during turbulent times. The song’s message of love and letting go resonates with audiences seeking a sense of trust and comfort amid the chaos of the world.
Jont’s musical journey has evolved over the years, with his music acting as a beacon of support and comfort for his listeners. From acoustic and intimate compositions to orchestrated and upbeat tracks, his songs consistently carry a message of hope and understanding.
Jont’s extensive background in bringing people together through his music, including his underground music night UNLIT, demonstrates his commitment to building a sense of community and connection. This spirit continues in his work with sacred song ceremonies and cacao ceremonies, where his songs are inspired by his experiences with plant medicine like Ayahuasca.
