ABOUT

Maffiss is Jonathan Ogden, a Manchester-based songwriter who began writing and recording material in 2010. His self-titled debut EP was released on 19th February 2011. Inspired by a wide range of musical genres, such as folk, rock, classical and electronic, his music is an experimental and eclectic mix of styles, with a sound of its own.

Jonathan is a Christian and describes his music as "worship music, that doesn't necessarily sound like worship music". And this is certainly true with his debut EP, which features a wide range of styles, including ethereal instrumental pieces and uptempo electronic songs.

There’s no turning back now! The CD is finished, tweaked, mixed and all that stuff. I’ve designed the packaging and sent it off to print, and now the songs have been sent off to the digital stores, ready for release on the 19th Feb. The EP should be appearing on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon MP3 and the Zune store on the 19th. That’s assuming everything goes to plan. The physical release should be done by then too. The packages are on their way, and I’ve gone for some rather fancy schmancy … Continue reading →
