Jonathan Frith was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1970, to Bermudian parents. Consequently, he jockeyed back and forth from the gritty streets of New York, to the sublime ocean-country of Bermuda, which explains some of the duality of his songwriting perspective.

His father, Michael K. Frith, worked with Jim Henson and The Muppets as head of Art and Design, creating Miss Piggy and Fraggle Rock, among other characters and shows.  By age 5, Jonathan was literally living in the unparalleled universe of the Muppets. Surrounded by Puppeteers, puppet-builders, writers, singers, artists, actors, and the over-arching presence of ground-breaking creative genius, Jonathan couldn’t help but be absorbed into the creative spirit. He started writing songs at age 13, and was soon recording and playing to living room audiences.

Originally intending to become a Political Cartoonist, Jonathan ultimately earned a BFA in film and video from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1993. He is the author of over 30 short stories (some award-winning), several volumes of poetry, and “The Wazoo Bowl”, a novel for children. He is also the illustrator of the “Sporty Little Field Guide To Bermuda.”
