Jonathan Mason was born and raised in a very small town in Maryland surrounded by farm animals and tobacco fields. Jonathan was a music
junkie at an early age; as a young boy he wrote letters to his favorite industry personalities for advice on how to break into the business! He spent
summers working in those tobacco fields to raise money for school clothes and, of course, to buy some of his favorite albums (which he still
owns). Jonathan attended Howard University, Stanford, and Georgetown Law, and now has his own firm founded specifically to serve the needs
of creative individuals and companies in the music, television, film, theater, dance, art, and publishing industries. He’s represented the likes of
Rickey Smiley, Luther Vandross and Sean Combs, just to name a few. In 2008 Jonathan became a professor of Entertainment Law at Atlanta’s
John Marshall Law School, where he has groomed a new generation of entertainment lawyers to help protect the rights of artists.
