- “There’s only one way to express what music gives me. It gives me purpose, it gives me point. When I sing, I can just be me”
-Jonathan Antoine, 26 year old tenor from the UK.
When Jonathan sings, it’s immediately apparent you are hearing one of the best voices in the world. The quality, feeling and authenticity that he puts into his performances reaches out and draws you into the music. Depending on the theme of the current serenade, he has you feeling the thrill of new love, brokenhearted, grieving, hopeful and more.
From Puccini to Leonard Cohen, Jonathan sings a diverse
repertoire, bringing many musical tastes together and audiences appreciate all.
Most initially learned of Jonathan Antoine from the 2012 Britain’s Got Talent series where he sang in a duo called Jonathan and Charlotte. The emotional and inspiring audition, consecutive semi-final and final performances had the UK viewers going wild. With the media frenzy that followed the audition airing, it was the beginning of a whirlwind of television appearances and a documentary, performances all over Europe as well as creating the first album, Together, all at the age of 17. A second album, Perhaps Love followed, containing solos from each artist, hinting that separate careers were approaching. The duo did part, each with their own contract to pursue individual aspirations and Jonathan’s debut solo album, Tenore, was released in October 2014.
The much anticipated album showcased Jonathan’s growth and hard work training his voice. It contains classics such as La Donna e Mobile, Panis Angelicus, and a must-sing tribute to Mario Lanza with Be My Love to name but a few. Just before release date, Jonathan was invited to perform in the finale concert of the month-long iTunes festival held at the Roundhouse in London, as Placido Domingo’s guest. At the ripe age of 19, he had his first number one charting classical album.
2014 also found Jonathan performing for the first time in the USA. David Foster whisked him away to perform at the 20th anniversary Muhammad Ali’s Celebrity Fight Night- an incredible experience for such a worthy cause. At another performance in Florida, a highlight was singing the Beatles' Hey Jude with Sting, Ne-Yo, Adam Levine and Tessanne Chin.

Been following since first few magical notes on @BGT 2012 - On Repeat For A Daily Dose!
Oh my, I could listen to Jonathan all day! And such good advice! Make sure you have all the pieces together so that when opportunity comes you can grab it! Jonathan had already been taking voice lessons for six years, including the Royal Academy of the Arts. So when Britain's Got Talent happened he was prepared!
