My Daily Life As An Independent Musician | Manchester, UK

I've been binge-watching day in the life videos recently so I decided to take my camera around today and make one of my own. I don't know if this kinda thing is interesting to anyone but I had fun making it 😅 Hopefully it gives a bit of insight into what life is like as a christian indie artist living in Manchester, if you've ever wanted to know! Every day is a little different but at least I was going places today so I thought there might be something more to see.

So nice to see young ppl actually seeking the Lord and living a blessed life from it. May all your prayers be answered swiftly!

[@Love-Is-Kind]

I agree with this beautiful sincere prayer for this anointed young man of God. In HIS Son’s holy name, Amen & Amen. ✝️📖🕊🛐🙌🏽💜🎼🎵🎶🎹🎸🥁🎤

[@lynettebakashaba2596]

Amen!! I like to see it as well.. it's very uplifting and encouraging.. 😌

[@jerryjaguar3239]

May I ask how did you get better in piano and guitar other than practice. Learning more scales ?

[@callforarchives]

I watched this, and realized something; you like tea!

You missed out the crucial part of a music producer's day where you spend at least half an hour finding the perfect snare sample.

[@JonathanOgdenMusic]

That was my *entire* day before this, but I didn't think it would be very interesting to show ;)

[@VanessaGuzmanlovelove]

Can you tell me what is snare sample in other words, please? I was trying to understand but I really don't know. I speak spanish, but I am studying english.

[@matheusempixels]

@@VanessaGuzmanlovelove It is a sound sample from a snaredrum, to include in our music. ^^

[@rontheproton1783]

Thank you for this video. It’s nice to see the normal daily human side of artists. It helps someone like me that is overwhelmed with the thought of being some superhuman in order to be successful and provide value to others.

[@sunsetcity9680]

You don't need to worry about providing value to others. God already gives us the immense value He wants us to have when we seek Him and obey Him, and in this way, others automatically receive our value by just being there for them when we can. I say this as someone who worries for another person worrying about being valuable to others. As long as you remain in Christ, you will always be immensely valuable to God and to others. God Bless you, homie!

[@rontheproton1783]

@@sunsetcity9680 thank you for those kind encouraging words. God bless you as well!

[@candace6022]

Such a blessing watching videos from Jonathan. I am in my forties, a single mom and always get such a peace when listening to Jonathan's songs or watching his videos. I even have the kids worshipping along too.. Keep up the great work Jonathan. The HOLY SPIRIT is flowing through you in parts of the world in ways you may not have imagined. We're keeping you in prayer and giving thanks to God for your ministry over here in Las Vegas Nevada. Peace and Blessings everyone ;-)

[@inactiveuser555]

this isn’t just a philosophy, but it is the truth, and it’s reality. JESUS CHRIST is the Way and the Truth and the Life. (john 14:6). the LORD JESUS CHRIST came unto the earth in the likeness of man and HE took the lowly position of a bondservant (philippians 2:7), not to be served, but to serve, and to give HIS Life as a Ransom for many (matthew 20:28). we are not saved because of our own goodness/works, since no one is good (morally perfect), except One, that is, GOD (mark 10:18), but we are saved by the unmerited love and favor of the LORD through faith in HIM and what HE did for us alone (ephesians 2:4-5). every man is given all he needs to live a Godly life through the knowledge of the LORD (2 peter 1:3). each and every one of us must confess of our sins to the FATHER, we must repent (acts 20:21), and we must strive to live our lives all to the glory of GOD in every aspect (1 corinthians 10:31). if we confess our sins, GOD is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness (1 john 1:9). when you’re a new creation in CHRIST, old things pass away and all things become new (2 corinthians 5:17) and we receive the HOLY SPIRIT in our hearts as a seal and guarantee of what is to come (2 corinthians 1:22)! :D

[@stephenwe9808]

This helped so much. Been trying to find my own rhythm lately as God's bringing me into a new place of creativity. Even just seeing how you set your evening time just for creating, I realized that's also when I feel the most productive creatively. Just being aware of that now is going to help a ton in anchoring my daily rhythms. So NECESSARY. Always appreciate your videos more than you know brother. Cheers :)

I really admire how you can wake up early and go to the gym. I have always preferred to train by 6:00pm ^^” (and can tell about that relief feeling when you done.. 🤣😂) Also it is wonderful that you organise your time and worship for a little while. I believe that, when we are out of social media and use that time replacing it with Bible Reading or something else, may have a positive impact. Excellent!

Thanks for this video. Sometimes, because of a world so agitated that we live, time runs through our hands quickly every day, we forget how good the simplicity of everyday life is. Disconnect from social networks, enjoy nature, connect with the creator of the universe. Sometimes, what we need is a simple day with Jesus.
