Jon moved from Sydney, Australia to Hollywood, California in 1990, on the strength of a Canadian indie recording contract. Making his own opportunities while waiting for "record execs" to make decisions is what drove him into the many varied entertainment fields he is associated with, gaining invaluable experience over the years... enough to forge his own agency/production company, Egomania Records. "It's all about Forward Momentum: if you haven't got it, make it... And then there's my Ego to consider..."

In the States, working innumerable keyboard sessions (partial lists below), styles covering the musical spectrum, from classical piano, to 70's rock organ, to 80's pop synth, to r&b, funk, rap, country, mainstream, alternative. As well as band situations, Dunmore also accommodates solo vocalists, songwriters, weddings, churches, piano students.

An intense showman, Dunmore's keyboards must survive body damage whilst performing, multiple key replacements and the occasional ritual burning...
