Jon Savage

Jon Savage has a lot of faces. Well, technically he only has one face. But it’s a very busy face.

Jon Savage is the lead singer of SAMA winning rock band, Cassette, whose career went from frivolous indie unsigned garage rock band to major labels, world tours, chart-topping singles, The MTV Awards, international festivals and films; and eventually back to the garage to make more music. He is also the national voice of rock in South Africa, hosting 5FM’s “Power Night Of Rock” on Thursday nights. The show has gathered a fanatical fan base, with a show packed full of new music, interviews, content and a whacky interviewing style.

Jon has also created South Africa’s first (and currently only) SA Music Industry podcasts, designed to help bands and musicians understand more about the music industry. Jon is also a renowned composer and producer at Pocket Love Studios, creating music for local and international TV commercials and film soundtracks. He is also a music consultant, regularly creating music productions for corporate events, including being the musical director for the South African Music Awards for 2010 and 2011.

Jon is currently working on the release of his debut solo album.
