ABOUT ELEVATED FOCUSION

"New York-based artist Jonny Rythmns has flourished on the outer edge of the musical map, creating sonic worlds unchained by genre... he transforms a lifetime of creative exploration into an ever-shifting conversation between electronic experimentation, storytelling and human connection... With Space Dance, Jonny Rythmns is set to take listeners on an engrossing cosmic odyssey to a place where rhythm becomes language, sound becomes story and every moment feels like a step into something beautifully unknown."

"I could truly feel how much energy, effort, and inspiration went into crafting this vivid release. There’s something almost otherworldly in it, so experimental and strikingly cool that it grabs you instantly. ‘Space Dance’ unites so many styles, energies, and genres that they merge into something completely new."

- Soundville

"Elevated Focusion stitches together sound and sentiment with the instinct of an artist who’s spent decades shaping a world entirely his own. From his early days creating instrumental hip hop and sci-fi-infused electronica under the name Jonny Rythmns to his current incarnation as a genre-fluid force of nature, his work has always been about more than sound – it’s about connection, catharsis, and pulling meaning from the cosmic void. Space Dance continues that trajectory, folding elements from across the musical spectrum into a singular sonic language."

Parting ways with my old Motif representing my new era of music in 2023. In this modern world, a cowboy has got to move on.

"Space Dance is a playground for the strange and unexpected. It’s glitchy, sweaty, neon-lit, and occasionally terrifying — synths wobble like they’ve had too much coffee, drums snap like street fights in an alley, and vocals pop up in ways you won’t see coming. Elevated Focusion throws every genre at the wall, from 90s techno synths to operatic flares to hard rock snarls, and somehow it all sticks together, beautifully messy and poisoningly magnetic.

By the time the last pad dies, it’s like someone ripped you apart and launched the pieces into deep space — you’re floating, scrambled, exposed, with nothing to grab onto but the void. And yet it’s beautiful. You stay. Maybe it’s you, the first spark of a new civilization drifting through the cosmos."

"Even though he claims not to have reinvented the wheel with these songs, I definitely would say that he kind of has. They all have an edge to them that is unique and not like most people that take inspiration from that era of music and compose something that is extremely predictable and commercial. That itself, is an achievement."

- Music Review World

"Space Dance is a fantastic journey through electronic space-pop from New York-based project Elevated Focusion, melding infectious and atmospheric productions with dynamic vocal presences that span from soulfully melodic charm to conversational intensity... the album channels both late-night club energy and cosmic introspection, creating a universe where danceable momentum meets whimsical, space-centric lyricism. It’s an excellent follow-up to last year’s album, Dark Nights."

- Obsure Sound

I grew up in Queens and was influenced by underground hip hop, punk, jazz, rave music, old school streetwear fashion and the vast cultural influences that make up NYC. I used the name Jonny Rythmns when I made music on my synthesizer keyboard during 2001-2004. It was 100% instrumental made up of hip hop beats, experimental music, new age piano, jazzy improv, blues, trippy tunes, sci-fi vibes, outer space sounds and music for video games.

Nearly 20 years later in 2022, after being cooped up during the pandemic, I decided to release all of my old music under the name Jonny Rythmns. The first release was my most experimental album called Elevated Focusion.

The following year, I chose 'Elevated Focusion' to be my name going forward for a new era of my music. It represents who I want to be as an artist, whether in experimental pop fusion music or as an alternative streetwear clothing brand.

In 2023, I released my self-titled debut album Elevated Focusion, my first foray into incorporating vocals via collabs with music artists from around the world. My goal with the Elevated Focusion brand is to unite my love for all genres and art styles through eclectic music and alternative fashion.

I released my second album in Dark Nights in 2024 followed by my third album Space Dance in October 2025 further embarking on this new artistic endeavor of exploration and creativity. Eventually, I hope to break into film, tv and commercials as well.

Ok……the crazy blue haired character..lol. Where does he come from? I’m a weird musician I guess. Let’s just say he is the Superman to my Clark Kent. The part of my mind where the wild side resides.
