2007年,他因在电影《魔法奇缘》中演唱的作品《So Close》,而获得奥斯卡提名。同年,亦发行个人第一张专辑,名为《Indiana》。2008年,发行第二张专辑,名为《OK Now》。2013年,发行了最新专辑holding my breath,为了这张专辑,他举办了专辑制作粉丝试听会,让他的粉丝当歌曲的监制人和听众来提出建议。
作为在印第安纳安德森的一个年轻的钢琴手,jon每天都将大量的时间投入音乐上---所说所想用歌词和旋律来表达.不幸的是,他的两只手腕在一次事故中粉碎性骨折后,钢琴的弹奏不得不从他生活的主流退出.直到他高中的高年级时,当他再一次的坐了下来,他才又重新找回对艺术的热情. jon的歌曲写作能力是在他被安德森音乐学院录用以后才算真的成形.
在那里,不知他花了多少时间来为这第一张专辑打下坚实的基础. 因为他那受了专业训练的耳朵,还有Ben Folds 和 Billy Joel对他的影响,Jon McLaughlin形成了他所特有的钢琴摇滚风格,并创造出了一种让听众兴奋,覆盖整个舞台的独有声效.
people tell me there will come a time
when your heart and mine will grow cold
no more staring at the evening sky
low replaces high when you're old
as long as you're around I'll follow you
you won't ever be alone
as long as you're around I'll follow you
now I will be wherever you go
they say the future is our enemy
time eventually will set the sun
but I believe in you and you believe in me
how can we ever go wrong?
as long as you're around I'll follow you
heart is million gonna break
as long as you're around I'll follow you
and I will give whatever love takes
so be patient baby
hold me close
I hope you understand
you're a beautiful woman
