Born in 1991, Jonathan Fitas began his musical path as a violinist before turning to composition. Early on, he became known for his work in advertising for brands such as Hugo Boss, La SPA, Asics, Sidaction, Alima, Rochas, Caisse d’Épargne, Sisley and Withings — often working with director Théo Gottlieb, whose emotionally driven approach matched Jonathan’s own. He later expanded into film scoring, composing for documentaries such as Kin Tout est Vie (Damso, 2021) and No Limits (2015), along with several short films.

In 2021, he released his debut EP Beyond the Loop on Naïve Records, becoming one of the label’s first French neoclassical signings. Apple Music described it as “a beautifully conceived collection of magical, mesmerizing soundscapes.” Nagamag praised its “rich electronic textures,” while Les Oreilles Curieuses wrote that Jonathan's work “carries the influence of Nils Frahm and Ólafur Arnalds, delivering a debut EP that is both captivating and rich in emotion” Quai Baco noted he was “a talent to watch in the French neoclassical scene.”
His immersive art work expanded his international presence. Shortly after the opening of Atelier des Lumières in Paris, his music was featured in landmark shows such as Life & Chaos (2019) and Verse (2019), establishing him as a pioneer in composing for immersive art thanks to his refined sense of spatial sound. His work continued with Verse at Infinity des Lumières in Dubai (2020), followed by Horizon and New Land at OASIS Immersion in Montreal (2022). That same year, he was selected as one of the leading artists of Noor Riyadh for IMPULSE, an audiovisual collaboration with Roman Hill.

In 2025, he released Leap of Faith, published by his label Maison Mujō in partnership with Whales Records, the label founded by pianist Julien Marchal, and strongly supported by Apple Music. That same year, he composed the original soundtrack for the ARTE series Origines and produced Maison Mujō’s first music video project, Radiance — directed by Théo Gottlieb and recipient of several major awards.

By now, his catalogue has surpassed 1.2 million streams across Asia and the US, with strong audiences in Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, Los Angeles and New York — driven by works such as Drifting, Ingenuous, Inside and Tender, which helped establish his cinematic and contemplative identity for a global audience.

Alongside his personal projects, Jonathan supports other musicians and visual creators in shaping their artistic identity. Based in Normandy, he founded Maison Mujō as a space rooted in his core values — animal protection, preservation of nature, and creating art in a peaceful environment — with the long-term aim of opening an artist residency in 2027.
