He is the sole producer on her Gold-selling album Wildfire that includes 7x Platinum “Fight Song” and 1x Platinum “Stand By You.” Jon cowrote and produced Dua Lipa’s “Blow Your Mind (Mwah!)”, her first worldwide single that is one of Primary Wave’s most synced contemporary songs to this day.

Jon has assumed the role as Alessia Cara’s producer. This role encompasses producing and writing her EP “This Summer”, creating an original Christmas song “Make It To Christmas,” producing a song for Netflix’s The Willoughbys, and making acoustic and live versions of the EP. Jon produced and wrote three tracks on Avril Lavigne’s new album Head Above Water. Jon produced Andy Grammer’s album Magazines and Novels and has two cuts on Andy’s new album including the single “I Found You” ft. Cash Cash. Jon has produced singles for Bebe Rexha, Lea Michele, Aloe Blacc, Alessia Cara, and Faouzia. He has album cuts on works by Avril Lavigne, Drake, Celine Dion, Little Mix, Sabrina Carpenter, Leona Lewis, Andra Day, Nelly Furtado, and Selena Gomez. Jon’s Dua Lipa "Blow Your Mind (Mwah!)" song was synced with Revlon in 2018,[2] The Struts song was synced with Harley Davidson in 2019 and Budweiser in 2020, and his Bebe Rexha song was synced with Walgreens in 2020.
