I want to send [my fans] fresh songs, and remixes and video blogs as often as I can... for me it's all about playing live as much as possible and we will load the great shows online too.}}and {{block quote|We've coined the sound "soul over rock" because my delivery still has a strong Soul influence yet ... the tracks really move ... the feel is not urban but rather a fusion of soul and R&B vocals.}}Charity workJones is the official spokesperson for the newly formed AKW charity which builds schools for disabled children in Kabul.
