Jonathan Nvita

Jonathan Nvita was born in Kinshasa (DRC), the fourth of five children. Nvita had a passion for music since age 5, following in the footsteps of his late father, who was a choir conductor and guitar player. He desired to pursue his love for music on an academic level. Because of his father's death, he missed the opportunity to attend music school and instead spent his adolescence studying chemistry and biology. Despite studying a different subject, music was still his passion.

As he got older, his approach to music grew drastically in the way that his interest in music shifted in the direction of his heroes, such as Lokua Kanza, Luambo Makiadi, Richard Bona, Bobby McFerrin, and Al Jarreau.
Nvita has a bachelor’s degree in music from Humber College, where he got the opportunity to
study with many outstanding teachers in Canada.

Nvita combines jazz knowledge with his African heritage through song, rhythm, and dance. He believes that “music is spiritual," a tool that helps to communicate with God and the ancestors and to reconnect with the beautiful land of Africa. Nvita's only goal in life is to bring peace between nations, put a smile on people's faces, share love, educate people through lyrics, and raise awareness.

Nvita just released his debut album titled “Mosisa,” which means the roots. The album has 14 songs that showcase topics that most Africans are experiencing and educate about social norms and values.
