Chanteur
Country US né le 20 Mai 1985 à Dixon (Californie).
Country
singer and sonoriser Jon Pardi,
born May 20, 1985, and raised in Dixon, California, discovered his love of
country music early, thanks in no small part to his grandfather's country
karaoke machine. Falling under the spell of traditional country artists like
George Jones and
George Strait, and with a special affinity for
Hank Williams Jr., Pardi
was playing guitar as a child, and was only seven years old when he belted out "Friends
in Low Places" at his father's 30th birthday party at a local hall. He was 12
when he started writing his own songs, and joined his first band at the age of
14. Country music was the only thing
Pardi really wanted to do. He formed a duo with friend Chase McGrew after
he graduated from high school, and the pair began playing the regional clubs and
bars. Pardi and McGrew moved to
Chico together to attend Butte Junior College, and for the next three years
played in a local band called Northern
Comfort. Pardi always knew
he had to end up in Nashville, the home of country music, in order to fulfill
his dream, and he moved there in 2008 when he was 23. He supported himself
initially as a lifeguard, but he had developed into a natural narrative
songwriter, and landed a publishing deal just 18 months after arriving in Music
City. The publishing deal led to a lot of well-connected co-writing for
Pardi, and he honed his writing
skills even more, usually singing his own demos of the songs to shop around. His
name got frequently noticed and recalled, and following a showcase gig with his
band, Pardi signed a recording
deal with Capitol Records Nashville. Using friend and collaborator
Bart Butler as producer (Butler
had handled most of Pardi's demo
sessions), he began recording his debut album. A first single from the project,
"Missin' You Crazy," was released in the spring of 2012, with the album itself,
Write You a Song, finally arriving early in 2014. It peaked at number three on
the country albums chart, and rose to number 14 on the Top 200 listings. In
2015, Pardi began work on his second album, and a track from the project, "Head
Over Boots," became another hit, going to number 19 on the country singles chart.
Pardi's sophomore album, California Sunrise, appeared in June 2016.
