Jonah Cordy of Winter Springs, Florida, infuses his music with a blend of synthpop, shoegaze, and indie rock to create a contemporary sound. Initially, Jonah played guitar and keyboards in punk and industrial bands during the ’90s, such as Sumerians and Fleshly Minded, before honing in on a unique aesthetic.

His concept is to depict the future through sound, which has culminated in a fresh expression of electro-pop. His upbringing in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania—a sister city to Sheffield in the UK—has significantly influenced the sonic and conceptual framework of Kites With Lights.
