He blends rock, pop, a lot of funk and soul, with psych, before rapping in free-flow over the gorgeous instrumental.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jonny Dee&#8217;s debut album, &#8216;The Human Experience&#8217;, was released in Spring last year, and layered a variety of genres over the core rock sound, coming together in what he has dubbed, &#8220;psychedelic hip hop&#8221;. He recorded the initial demos in his apartment in La Jolla, and later had them re-recorded and mixed by sound engineer Sean Powers. Jonny&#8217;s vision was for this album to be,<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;A guide to find freedom from the everyday struggles in our world.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The video for &#8216;You&#8217; sees Jonny utterly devoted to the lady of his dreams. He&#8217;s also the dream lover of Teodora Marcella, and, so far as she&#8217;s aware, he exists only in her imagination. Both fantasise about the other, and eventually &#8211; at the end of the clip, Jonny attracts Teodora&#8217;s attention by playing a guitar solo outside her window. True love blossoms.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Don&#8217;t we all love a happy ending!<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Check out Jonny Dee online on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.JonnyDee.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jonnydeemusic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iamjonnydee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IamJonnyDee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nt8rSu5Wppk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jonny Dee is a San Diego-based musician, whose style is rap &#8211; with a twist.
