About the Artist

Howard Jones burst onto the music scene in the early 1980s with a fresh, synth-driven sound that helped define the era's electronic pop landscape. Known for his optimistic and catchy melodies like 'Things Can Only Get Better' and 'What Is Love?,' Jones melded heartfelt songwriting with pioneering synthesizer techniques, quickly becoming a staple on international charts. His early albums, 'HUMAN'S LIB' and 'DREAM INTO ACTION,' were critical and commercial successes, showcasing not only his skillful electronic production but also a uniquely English songwriting style imbued with positivity and introspection. Across four decades, Jones has maintained a dynamic live presence, performing both solo and with a high-tech band setup, always engaging audiences with his energetic and uplifting performances. Fans often recall his ability to seamlessly balance high-energy electronic arrangements with thoughtful lyrical content, a rare skill that keeps his music resonant through changing musical eras. His more recent work, including the 2022 album 'DIALOGUE,' continues this tradition, blending modern electronic textures with his classic melodic sensibility and proving that his creative spirit remains as vibrant as ever.
