In an increasingly interconnected world, success is often measured these days in friends, fans, and followers. In the music world, this is even more true, and perhaps one of the ultimate measures of digital success is having a Wikipedia entry. Having a listing in what is arguably now the most famous encyclopedia in the world, online or off, means you have truly made your mark.
It comes as no surprise then, that electropop sensation Jona Bechtolt has his own entry. A former member of the wildly successful electro group, The Blow, Jona formed YACHT in 2002, and in 2008 he teamed up with Claire Evans, continuing the tradition of creating impeccable auditory bliss. Despite dropping out of high school to play the drums, Jona’s success shows just what is possible in life with a bit of determination and a lot of passion for doing what you love. With a loyal following of hundreds of thousands of listeners, the duo is in hot demand, playing sold out shows around the world.
My portraits of Jona and Claire, titled At the YACHT Club, capture their intensity & infectious energy and passion.
