Jonni Lightfoot was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. In 1996, he released his debut CD, "Copper Street Fair" which received enthusiastic reviews from fans and critics including ‘Most Innovated New Artist’ from Bass Frontiers magazine. "Copper Street Fair" offers a different look into Jonni’s song writing skills, which celebrated the piccolo bass as the centerpiece of nine moving compositions. He gives bass playing a new look which there seems to be nothing new under the sun.

In 2000 and 2001 Jonni reached another milestone in his career with his performances of the “National Anthem” (on bass) to sell out crowds at the Utah Jazz and Utah Grizzlies home games.

Jonni’s latest release, “Pendulum” (a DreamAttik Production released in early 2002) reveals some of his greatest work to date. From the use of his piccolo bass to stunning performances on the fretless bass, one is sure to be memorized, taken in and energized by these powerful tracks.

For the past five years, Jonni has been a clinician for today’s top bass amp company Gallien-Krueger (GK) and has played a role in defining his personalized bass with Joe Zon of Zon Guitars.

Jonni is now in his fifth year with Air Supply and is the youngest member of the band. When not on the road, he joins Graham in the studio engineering the new Air Supply tracks and also fronts his own band playing a mixutre of songs from Jonni’s own CDs.

Jonni’s unique style of bass playing has become a defining addition to Air Supply’s sound which can soar from haunting ballads to the fringes of techno. Whatever is required, Jonni has the goods from deep ancjoring bass to the lilting melody from the piccolo bass.
