Jon Mullane

When you think of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the name Jon Mullane may not spring to mind. But his music may very well remind you of that event because his song “Make You Move” was featured on an NBC commercial promoting the summer Olympics.

The NBC spot also aired on The Tonight Show, Conan O’Brian and Carson Daly. After that, a lot of people knew Jon Mullane’s music.

“Make You Move” became a hit in Canada and it topped Internet radio charts around the world in rock and indie categories. The song was nominated for Single of the Year at the 2009 East Coast Music Awards.

Jon Mullane’s high-octane rock vibe has an anthemic drive that finds a natural home with sports teams and in arenas. In 2009, his band played a concert for the Canoe Sprint World Championships in Dartmouth, and the Nova Scotia Special Olympics Association has selected one of his songs for their promotional DVD.

Jon Mullane makes Halifax, Nova Scotia his home, but his diverse and melodic rock music is known and admired internationally. His fan base extends across North America, Europe and Asia.

In January, he releases his new album Shift.
