In High School, Jonathan & his identical twin brother Jared Mattson formed a jazz duo called The Mattson 2. Years later, a last-minute Japan music tour in 2007 spurred what has now become a 17-year career in live music. He has performed thousands of shows across 14 countries -- including shows at Outside Lands, Bluenote Tokyo, Desert Daze, and tours with Khruangbin, Toro Y Moi, Kikagaku Moyo, Antibalas, & Badbadnotgood  -- and released over 15 albums, & collaborated with the likes of Toro Y Moi, members of Tortoise, Ray Barbee, Tommy Guerrero, & Cornelius.
