Jon Gomm (born 11 July 1977) is an English singer-songwriter and performer. He employs percussive techniques on acoustic guitar, and his influences include genres such as blues, soul, rock and metal, as well as the musician Michael Hedges. He has recorded three solo albums. Jon Gomm started playing ukulele at the age of two. He began classical guitar lessons at the age of four, and at twelve he would accompany his father, a music critic, to blues gigs in his hometown of Blackpool. As a teenager, he played electric guitar. After leaving school, Gomm turned down a place at Oxford University studying English to attend the Guitar Institute (now part of the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance) in London. While there, he paid his way through college by playing jazz in café bars, working as a session guitarist, and performing Country music in working men’s clubs for line dancers. He later moved to Leeds to study in the Jazz degree course at Leeds College of Music. He began performing solo in Leeds. Over time, he developed a percussive style — hitting the surface of his guitar to create snare drum, bass drum and bongo sounds, re‑tuning the strings to produce bass tones, and using high harmonics for synthesizer‑like effects.
