DTOLive! Spotlight: Jon Horton

Last updated on September 15, 2025

Born and raised in Virginia Beach, VA, Jon is a Christian musician with a lifelong passion for music. Ever since receiving his first guitar at age 10 as a Christmas gift from his dad, he has been learning, playing, and sharing music wherever he can. His style blends songs from the ’60s through today with a mellow, soulful tone, now enhanced by the rhythms of a cajon to bring more depth and intrigue to each performance.

For him, performing is more than just playing music. It is about connection. Downtown Orlando has given him the chance to meet incredible people, from locals who come back time and again with requests, to travelers experiencing American music in a new way, to fellow musicians who inspire him along the way.
