Some people talk about the blues. Others grow up learning how to express it—quietly, patiently, and on time.
DeShaun Jones is a music event and industry professional whose story begins in the province of Ontario, where his grandfather played guitar in rural churches and he learned to keep time on the drums. That’s where he first discovered the language of the blues—not just as music, but as expression. As survival. As truth.
His career has since taken him through radio, label work at Sony BMG, and deep into the world of international music festivals. He’s spent decades behind the curtain and beneath the noise, helping artists and events find rhythm, purpose, and presence.
Today, as Founder and CEO of MangoTree Music Corp, DeShaun brings that same early discipline to the modern music business—helping creatives turn vision into voice and sound into something that lasts.
