Prosonic Production: Beats, Mixing & Mastering (@ProsonicProd)

ProsonicJonathan Riley, professionally known as Prosonic, is a mixing engineer, producer and beat maker, based in Portmore, Jamaica.

He was born in Kingston and grew up in the Havendale community with his mother. As a child, he attended both George Headley Primary and Meadowbrook High Schools. While in school he was involved in Football and Volleyball, as well as the Jamaica Combined Cadet Force.

Jonathan’s first passion was architecture and construction; however, after watching the popular Hollywood movie, Drumline (starring Nick Cannon), and listening to projects from established producer Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor, he became inspired and to make music. He started creating music at home using Digital Audio Workshop programs such as FL Studio and Propellerhead Reason. It was not long before he developed his skills and began mastering the machines. Now specializing in the reggae and dancehall genres as a mixing engineer, producer and beat maker, Jonathan adopted the name Prosonic as it exemplifies the kind of professionalism and quality that he brings to his music.
