Born and raised in Southern California, Jonathan's first venture into songwriting came at the age of 15 with a second-hand piano and an introduction to The Beatles. It was at this time that Jonathan began to craft songs with his unique take on the pop-rock landscape. His growing interest and involvement in music quickly led to performances in churches, camps, coffee shops, and festivals all over the United States as Jonathan continued to discover his unique voice.

"I focus a lot of my time on crafting songs with atmosphere and approachability," explains Jonathan. "I try not to rely too much on any overly-familiar sonic trademarks that I grew up around. I'm always trying new things while referencing influential staples like the Beatles, Queen and U2."

In late 2008, two vienne songs were featured on prime time television shows Gossip Girl (CW) and Chuck (NBC). By early 2009, Jonathan Korszyk had entered the studio with producer/guitarist Chris Franz to create vienne's debut ep.

As a writer at heart, Jonathan's sonic creations stem from the process of taking words and fitting them to music. Often times he finds himself co-writing with artists of differing musical genres to expand his lyrical, topical and musical perspectives. The results of his method and vision are apparent among the seven songs that appear on vienne.

"These songs are about dreaming, love and hope," says Jonathan. "My lyrics are written to inspire, encourage and to stir up the lover in the listener. I'm excited to share my music and am humbled by the opportunity to do so with so many."
