ABOUT ME

 Hello I’m Jonathan Contreras, a professional performing artist who specializes in collecting and telling stories via acting, singing and original folk music. Born and raised in the beautiful desert southwest border city of El Paso, Texas, my love for performance started at a young age when I'd accompany my Dad to his poetry readings. Currently working on a collection of songs about longing, displacement and traveling the west for developing a live solo performance featuring self accompaniment on accordion, piano and guitar.  Along with acting on stage I enjoy traveling the American Southwest and writing and performing my original songs. When not performing I prefer to be outdoors camping and hiking. Graduated with a BFA from the University of Oklahoma. Give me a follow on instagram @jonathan.acontreras
