Love is nature and nature is love

The song has a nice fresh feel to it and will leave you light-hearted.

Independent musician Jeffrey Jonathan of Glassmates, Variya and Lipstick fame is back with his next Tamil release. Jeffrey unveiled his latest independent musical creation, ‘Kadhalikuren’ - a love song, bringing together nature, travel and love. It got seven lakh views by the second week of its release. It is one of the songs the director himself has sung to a road trip theme that takes you by surprise. Love is dedicated to nature and the song was shot in one and half days. Music lovers get a visual treat featuring the Kodaikanal hills along with good music. The visuals also capture the luminous beauty of the route to Pondicherry. The song has a nice fresh feel to it and will leave you light-hearted.

Having designed, planned and directed music and video, this is, his first exposure in cinematography featuring his partner Dheeraj and Malayalam actress Anju Kurian. Jonathan is a self-taught musician who creates music that strikes a chord with all types of audiences. Being a music director, he also directs music videos. It was indeed very challenging for the passionate musician to start a career with a non-musical background but with an interest in learning techniques.

His first step into the media industry was through a Malayalam film in the Mohanlal-starrer Karmayodha. “My interest in music started from my childhood. Engineering was my parents’ dream, which I wanted to fulfil, but my passion had to do with the spark in my mind that was related to music from childhood and that made it special for me to build this career,” shared music maestro Jeffrey whose tracks are getting lakhs of views.

In South, there are not too many indie music videos in vernacular and only film songs get exposure compared to the north. There are lots of budding, young talents here who need to be featured, he says. That’s the reason Jeffery started with independent music direction along with the ‘99 Record Label’ platform. The 99 Record Label company is a dream project that will be a platform for all individual musicians who need the endorsement to venture into the music industry. The 99 Record Label turned into reality with the support of Dr. Dheeraj, a heart surgeon and Vinay Deva, a businessman, who contributed to the idea of record label company for individual musicians.

He plans on releasing at least a couple of music albums in a month.
