The video laughingly depicts scenarios in which partners find their significant other cheating on them. Everyone wants to know if any situation in the video is based on Jon\u2019s own personal experiences.\u00a0 Jon laughed when he told me: \u201cI find that songwriting is always a bit of truth and a bit of fiction. I\u2019ve certainly had a couple of breakups, but this video is a little over the top. I didn\u2019t experience the things in this video, but the song came from some real place, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The band\u2019s soon-to-be released new single is called <em>Happy Breakup Day<\/em>, so I\u2019m sensing a theme here. Jon brushed it off saying, \u201cIt\u2019s a little bit of a coincidence that these songs came out back-to-back. They\u2019re both breakup songs and they both have a fair bit of humor. You can take this serious topic and you can make the song really serious or you can put a little spin on it. We had fun putting a little spin on this topic.<\/p>\n<p>Jon told me that he\u2019s just finishing up the edit on the video for <em>Happy Breakup Day<\/em>: \u201cIn some ways, this video is crazier than the last one. The premise is a guy realizes that his relationship isn\u2019t working, so (to save face) he shows up at his girlfriend\u2019s birthday party and sings her this song.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Members of the Jon Collins band have day job where they are hired by one partner to show up at parties and break up with the other partner. The video takes advantage of their unique occupation: \u201cIt was a lot of fun to shoot. We had a 3-day shoot here in Los Angeles a couple weeks ago with 70 actors and extras and three different large-scale birthday parties. It\u2019s going to be a lot of fun to watch too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jon Collins became involved with music at a very young age. At 16, he became a studio musician. In college, he started playing the club scenes. When, I asked him to share his music back story with Amused Now fans, Jon told me his singing career started in the North Carolina woods: \u201cI grew up in a really small town in North Carolina. In fact, my father built us a log house, because my mother asked him to. I grew up in a log house in the woods about 6-7 miles from the nearest small town. There wasn\u2019t a lot to do out there. My mother had a piano; she was a singer and actress before she had a family. At about age four, I started singing and playing Disney songs on the piano.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3768\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jon-Collins-performing225x225.jpg\" alt=\"Jon Collins performing\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jon-Collins-performing225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jon-Collins-performing225x225-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jon-Collins-performing225x225-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jon-Collins-performing225x225-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jon-Collins-performing225x225-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>When Jon was a teenager, he started playing the harmonica: \u201cI started playing with garage bands in high school. There wasn\u2019t a lot to do in my small town, so playing music was my #1 interest and hobby. In college, I was with a band called Still Life in Chapel Hill, NC. We were one of the more popular bands in the area, and we played the East Coast club scene. I came out to California ten years ago, and it\u2019s been gaining momentum ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jon Collins is also an actor. He\u2019s appeared on such popular TV shows as <em>Will and Grace<\/em> and <em>Scrubs<\/em>. Is Jon still acting? Jon smiled and told me:\u00a0 \u201cWell, I act in our music videos. I used to do commercial work and modeling, but I just haven\u2019t had a lot of time to do that. Music is more than a full-time business. Between the songwriting, working in the studio, rehearsing for live gigs, making music videos and touring, music takes up most of my time. I have a lot of actor and producer friends here in Los Angeles. There are projects that I advise on, and I\u2019ve done some writing outside of my music. I\u2019m always open to the right acting opportunity, but now my acting is limited to the music videos I\u2019m shooting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to acting and modeling, Jon Collins is also a filmmaker, but music remains his passion: \u201cFor me, music is just one of those things where the process of songwriting and the process of performing are\u00a0so fulfilling that I don\u2019t have to anything more to be happy. I have goals and things that I want to achieve, and I want to share my music with as many people as possible. I directed our last music video, so I\u2019m wearing a couple of different hats. If it weren\u2019t for the music, I just wouldn\u2019t be complete.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What advice does Jon Collins have for other artists who are trying to make it pursuing multiple entertainment goals? Does Jon advise picking one or does he think you can have it all? \u201cFundamentally, any artist has to be true to himself. I know that sounds clich\u00e9. You have to find your internal voice and follow that, but you must also be willing to change yourself around the periphery. Can you wear many hats? Well, that comes down to the individual. I happen to be one of those people who like to wear as many hats as I can get my hands on, because it\u2019s a thrill. For me, being part of any creative process is exciting and exhilarating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I love that Jon Collins is grateful for his career choices: \u201cNo matter what ups and downs you face, you have to be grateful for what you\u2019re doing, because you get a chance to do what you love. What else can you ask for?\u201d Well said, Jon Collins.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to their new release <em>Happy Breakup Day<\/em>, what\u2019s up next for The Jon Collins Band? \u201cThe video will be out in a couple weeks, fingers crossed. We\u2019re getting ready to release a six-song EP that we wrote over the last year, which includes the singles <em>Don\u2019t Believe in You <\/em>and <em>Happy Breakup Day<\/em>. The other songs aren\u2019t all breakup songs, I promise! We\u2019re rehearsing for a live show with material from our new EP and songs from our last album. We\u2019re going back into the studio with new material, about 10 songs that my guitar player, Chris Vazquez, and I have been working on. Between the studio and rehearsing and promotion of our new EP and music video, we\u2019re keeping ourselves pretty busy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a The Jon Collins Band fan and you live in Los Angeles area, you\u2019re in luck! The Jon Collins Band starts playing live shows in the very soon, so get ready and get tickets.<\/p>\n<p>The Amused Now Featured Artist Series<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3766\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3766\" class=\"wp-image-3766 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jon-Collins-and-Chris-Vazquez225x224.jpg\" alt=\"Jon Collins and Chris Vazquez\" width=\"225\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jon-Collins-and-Chris-Vazquez225x224.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jon-Collins-and-Chris-Vazquez225x224-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jon-Collins-and-Chris-Vazquez225x224-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jon-Collins-and-Chris-Vazquez225x224-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jon-Collins-and-Chris-Vazquez225x224-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3766\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chris Vazquez and Jon Collins<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Jon Collins<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.joncollinsband.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">JonColinsBand.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/joncollinsband\" target=\"_blank\">@joncollinsband<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thejoncollinsband\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cynthia Kahn, Founder of Amused Now<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/amused_now\" target=\"_blank\">@Amused_Now<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AmusedNow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/amusednow\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/amused-now\/id916561789\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/amusednow\" target=\"_blank\">SoundCloud<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Jon Collins Band\u2019s new hit single and video for the breakup song Don\u2019t Believe in You has everyone talking.
