In 'Flying Away,' his debut album produced by Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys), Jon Muq blends African melodies, soul, and electro-acoustic folk, recounting his incredible transatlantic journey from Uganda, his home country, to the United States, his new adopted land.
Discovered on social media through a viral video filmed in the streets of Kampala, the singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist later gained recognition by opening for prestigious acts (Billy Joel, Norah Jones, Mavis Staples…) on American stages. Now based in Austin, Jon Muq breaks down musical and cultural barriers in a galvanizing, intimate, spiritual, and world-embracing collection.
