For Jon Muq, a singer-songwriter born in Uganda and now living in Austin, Texas, music is part of a larger conversation he’s having with the world and everybody in it. Drawing from African as well as western musical trends and traditions, he devises songs as small gifts, designed to settle into everyday life and provoke reflection and resilience. “These days the world is sad,” he explains, “so I wanted to make happy songs. I wanted to write songs that connected with the listener in a very personal way. When someone listens to my music, it’s not just about me and what I’m singing. It’s about how they understand the songs individually. I think these songs can speak many languages, depending on what you want from them.”

Muq’s experiences as a child in Uganda and as a man in America give him a unique perspective on the world he’s addressing. “I grew up in a very different life, where so many people pass through hard times just because they don’t have much. Our biggest issue was food scarcity. Then I came to a different world, which gave me a picture of how to write a song that can find balance with everyone wherever they are, whether they have a lot or not much.” As he completes his debut with producer Dan Auerbach and tours with Billy Joel, Norah Jones, Mavis Staples, Amythyst Kiah, Corinne Bailey Rae, and others, Muq is expanding the scope of his music to speak to more and more people.

I heard this in the background on CBS news this morning while I was doing my makeup. I literally stopped what I was doing and went to the living room to see who was singing this so I could add it to my YouTube Playlist! ❤

Damn fine song and great vocals.  Just pre-ordered the album.

This song was on Dutch radio this evening. New for me and i love it!

Lyrics:

I feel like a runaway
Got a home but I just can’t find it
I never knew the right of way
I’m not alone ’cause the stars they guide me
 
It’s in my past I gotta let it go
Don’t look back I gotta keep on going
I feel like a runaway
 
So I say, hey...
Don’t care what the weather man’s saying
Hey, hey
I’m not afraid of the storm that’s raging
It’s not mine I gotta let it go
I pay no mind I gotta keep on walking


I feel like a child now
Every day I keep on growing
Every road that I travel down
There’s always someone there worth knowing
 
It’s in my blood I was born to roam
Where I go there is no returning
I feel like a runaway
 
So I say, hey...
Don't care what the weather man’s saying
Hey
I'm not afraid of the storm that’s raging
It’s not mine I gotta let it go
I pay no mind I gotta keep on walking


I feel like a runaway


So I say, hey...
Don’t care what the weather man’s saying
Hey
I’m not afraid of the storm that's raging
It’s not mine I gotta let it go
I pay no mind I gotta keep on walking


I feel like a runaway
I feel like a runaway

My song “Shake Shake” by @jonmuq is OUT NOW!

Inspired by his upbringing in a surrounding village of Kampala, Uganda, the new track is an invitation to dance. “Growing up around over 50 tribes that had different kinds of dances, each tribe focused on a specific part of the body when dancing, and the joy was endless. That moment of joy and happiness will always be yours, as long as you can ‘Shake Shake’ what you got”
