JONNY KANGO

Web Development / Creative Consultant / PR
Jonny has spent the last 30 years working across web development and music promotion, combining the technical side of building strong online platforms with the hands-on experience of marketing and growing live events. That mix lets me support artists and audiences from both angles — creating the digital foundations that help people discover what’s on, and promoting shows in a way that feels authentic, community-driven, and focused on delivering quality live music experiences.
