Early years

In 2004, shortly after graduating high-school, Howard moved to Lancaster, California to join the Forefront Records band, Dizmas.[1] After hundreds of shows and three records, members of Dizmas moved on.[2] Howard was the lead guitarist for the rock band Dizmas from 2003 to 2009, leaving after they went on hiatus and becoming a guitarist for the band Stellar Kart until he left the band in 2010.[3]

Paramore

[edit]

In the summer of 2010, Howard began touring with the band Paramore as an additional rhythm guitar player, keyboardist and percussionist.[4] He maintained this position until he left in 2016[5] - he played his last shows as part of Paramore in March of that year, during the band's second "Parahoy! Cruise". Jon's brother, Joey, joined Paramore as a touring bassist in 2016.[6]

In 2021, Howard was the co-songwriter and the vocal producer for the track Fragments of the American DJ Illenium's Album, Fallen Embers. The album was nominated for the 64th Annual Grammy Awards's Best Dance/Electronic Album in 2022.[13][14]

He is a frequent collaborator of his wife Natalie Taylor,[15][16] with whom he co-wrote and produced her Platinum-selling song, Surrender.[17][18]
