Jonah Matranga (aka onelinedrawing) has helped create a few genres, but never really fit into one. From the pioneering post-hardcore emo of Far and New End Original to onelinedrawing's lofi solo adventures, along with wildly diverse collaborations with Thursday, Kimya Dawson, Deftones, Fort Minor, Lupe Fiasco, Jawbox, Matt Nathanson, and lots more. Jonah has also toured with most of those artists, along with everyone from Jimmy Eat World to Frank Turner to Sepultura. Jonah has also been doing sliding-scale merch, unique recordings, crowdfunding, and crowd-sourced patronage since way before any of that was a thing. Simply put, Jonah / onelinedrawing has been at the heart of a whole lot.
“A loose, free-roaming approach to confessional songwriting that pushes the music well beyond sad singer/songwriter clichés.” - PITCHFORK
“One of music’s most charismatic, tuneful, purist geeks...” - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
“You may know singer-songwriter Jonah Matranga from various projects--Far, Gratitude, New End Original, onelinedrawing — but Matranga may have done his best work while flying solo.” - ALTERNATIVE PRESS
