After dropping out of music college, Howard Jones explored the world of jazz and funk with local Southampton bands. A pivotal moment came when he discovered synthesizers. A mistaken delivery of two synthesizers instead of one sparked his creative exploration with these new instruments. He began performing solo, utilizing synthesizers and drum machines to craft his unique sound.
The 1980s proved to be Jones’ golden era. His infectious synth-pop tunes, often laced with optimistic lyrics, resonated with audiences.
