// acting
The stage and the screen
A singer is already an actor: every song is a character with something to say. Acting is a passion Jonathan is drawn to for the same reason as lyrics, which is telling the truth through someone else's words.

About
~/aboutJonathan Mitchell Anderson is a singer, songwriter, lyricist and writer. The written word is at the centre of the work: lyrics are drafted as text before they become songs, and the same voice runs through the music and the prose.
Outside music and writing, Jonathan works in software and brings an engineer's precision to the craft: structure, revision, and nothing wasted on the page.

// film
Story in pictures
Film is where writing, music and performance meet. It shapes how Jonathan thinks about a song: scenes, cuts, and the moment the music changes the meaning of the image.
// software
Building things that work
Jonathan's day work is software. Code and lyrics have more in common than people expect: both reward economy, rhythm and ruthless revision.
