History

Thulin was born in Kalmar, Sweden. His parents, Morgan and Helene Thulin, are both Swedish. He has two older brothers David and Samuel, and an older sister Jeanette. His parents were traveling evangelists traveling across Scandinavia. Jonathan began singing at the age of one and recorded his first album with his family at age six. Jonathan and his family traveled full-time across the United States and sang in over five hundred churches performing with Carman and The Gaither Vocal Band. After releasing six albums with his family, he began a solo career at sixteen, releasing his first album "Immovable", which was a local success in his home town at the time in Vero Beach, Florida. He graduated from high school a year early from the Visual and Performing Arts program at Indian River Charter High School. He released another album, "The Epiphany Guide" in 2008.

In January, 2010, Jonathan Thulin and his wife Anna moved to Los Angeles and began going to the Dream Center.

In July 2011, Thulin travelled to Moscow, Idaho to record his first music video "Babylon" with Neumann Films. The video created a buzz because of its cinematic approach, an approach which was very unusual in Christian music. After releasing his first solo album "The Anatomy of a Heartflow" on Dream Records in late 2011, he and Charmaine went on "The Love/War Tour." In February 2012 he began working on his second effort The White Room, which featured Rachael Lampa, Charmaine and the folk band Elden. The album released on Oct 19, 2012, to critical success.

The YouTube video went viral and received acclaim from fans and critics. After finishing a two-month tour in Sweden in late summer 2013, his single "Dead Come to Life (featuring Charmaine)", became a No. 1 CHR/Hot AC radio hit. It stayed at No. 1 for 3 weeks and was a hit on Air1 Radio. In 2014, Thulin toured the U.S performing in living room shows and at festivals. He also toured New Zealand and Australia.
