Over his two-decade career, he has performed for millions, been featured on Erica Campbell’s Get Up!

Influenced by his parents and legends such as Fred Hammond, Dr. Dre, Marvin Gaye, Busta Rhymes, Biggie Smalls, and Tupac to name a few, Canton Jones offers a bold blend of traditional gospel, contemporary R&B, hip-hop, and electronic elements. His production seamlessly combines the theatricality of musical theater with the energy of dance music, all complemented by his rich baritone voice.’You Know I Do’ is sure to ensnare fans of heartthrob contemporary artists such as Marvin Gaye and Teddy Swims. 

Raised in a musical family in Deerfield Beach, Florida, Canton Jones began his musical journey at the age of five, joining a singing quartet formed by his father. By 16, he was creating beats for himself and other local singers. After high school, Jones moved to Atlanta, Georgia – where he is currently based – where he joined his school’s glee club, giving him the opportunity to perform for icons like Oprah Winfrey and Ray Charles. In addition to his musical pursuits, he is a pastor and entrepreneur dedicated to community-driven outreach, which has earned him partnerships with McDonald’s The Gift Tour, Chick Fil A, Trumpet Awards, Gospel Music Channel, Walmart, and Hosea Feed The Hungry.

‘YOU KNOW I DO (LOVER’S Version)’ is a soul-stirring ode to utter devotion. A sturdy backbeat carries subtle yet moving atmospheric instrumental arrangements with touches of modern production. Beautiful call-and-response backing vocals add gospel-tinted emotional reverence to the track, but the star of the show is Canton Jones’ impassioned vocals, carrying the song into a territory that is universally resonant yet intensely personal.
