What
began as a marketing assignment in 1991 has now grown to become Too
Nubian Entertainment. The assignment was to prepare a plan to market
and develop your business for the next 5 years. It was therefore
conceivable that given his passion for music and his involvement in the
entertainment industry, that this assignment would involve music.
Jonathan has been involved in music for most of his life. His foray
into the public spotlight began with the legendary "Turntable Kings of
Ontario" (TKO). His voice, his style, his connection with the crowd,
and his raw talent on the turntables earned him instant
recognition that began his now stellar career in the music business.

and host of the Joyride talk show.
In 2001, Jonathan made history along with Milestone Radio (Flow 93.5
FM) - the first Black owned and First Urban radio station in Canada -
becoming one of the first on air personalities to be hired by the
station. During his tenure, he was the creative manager, known for
"Creating Spots with Spice" and hosted the number one show on Sunday
evenings The Downbeat.

Jonathan remains very active within the community devoting his time and
resources to various causes. He has been working with the Children's
Aid Society, and Each One Teach One. He is a much sought after
youth motivational speaker and one of few voices seeking to re-empower
Canada's black youth.
The journey to founder and CEO of an Entertainment Company was simply
the natural next step. Today Too Nubian Entertainment serves a diverse
and eclectic client base continuing the simple philosophy- Music for
every moment.
