New York, NY – Singer-songwriter Christopher Jon is stepping back into the spotlight with the release of his deeply moving single, “Once in a Lifetime,” now available on all streaming platforms. The track is a powerful reintroduction to an artist who has lived, loved, and endured and now channels those experiences into music that resonates far beyond his own story.
An official music video, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Will Macaulay of Modern Day Auteur, will premiere in the coming weeks. Known for his work with numerous notable acts, Macaulay brings a cinematic lens to Christopher’s artistry, promising a visual companion as poignant as the song itself.
A Life Shaped by Sound and Storytelling
Christopher Jon’s relationship with music began at home. With his father’s acoustic guitar always nearby and vinyl records spinning in the living room, he grew up surrounded by the storytelling power of song. Inspired by artists who blurred the lines between rock, blues, and country, he started crafting lyrics that reflected his own experiences, always anchored by his commanding vocal delivery.
In his teens and early twenties, Christopher performed across New York, collaborating with respected musicians and producers while carving out a sound defined by honesty and emotional depth. Yet life soon shifted his focus. With the arrival of his daughter, Sophia Grace, and later his son, Tristan James, Christopher stepped away from the stage to dedicate himself to fatherhood.
Finding Strength Through Loss
In August 2021, tragedy reshaped his world when Sophia passed away at just five years old. The devastating loss left an indelible mark but also guided him back to music the very passion that had brought Sophia so much joy.
Out of this grief came “Once in a Lifetime,” a song that threads resilience, love, and remembrance into a timeless message. The single carries not only the weight of personal loss but also the light of universal connection. With raw vulnerability and soaring vocals, Christopher delivers a performance that feels both intimate and widely relatable, reminding listeners of the power music holds to heal and preserve memory.
What’s Next for Christopher Jon
Christopher isn’t slowing down. He recently finished production on his next single, “Back For You,” featuring legendary saxophonist Ritchie Cannata and produced by Eren Cannata, whose credits include collaborations with Teddy Swims, Demi Lovato, Keith Urban, and Kid Cudi. The track is currently in the final stages of mixing and mastering, with release plans set for the coming weeks.
Looking ahead, Christopher is also in the process of assembling a team of talented session musicians to bring his vision to life both in the studio and on stage. With work underway on a forthcoming full-length album, he continues to build on the foundation of authenticity and heartfelt storytelling that defines his artistry.
