JUN TZU

Jun Tzu (aka Jonathan Hamilton), described by industry experts as one of the most inspiring artists to have emerged in the last decade, has exploded onto the Hip Hop scene with his debut four-track EP, Troubles Comin.
Jun Tzu attempts to bridge the sectarian and political divide through his unique blend of rap and traditional Irish music.
His music is inspired by a Belfast heritage - his father David Hamilton, now a Christian preacher, was a convicted terrorist during The Troubles conflict in Northern Ireland.
Troubles Comin is a prelude to Jun Tzu’s debut album, The Troubles, to be released next year –
a powerful musical journey through his early years in Belfast to his current home in Manchester.
Jun Tzu said: “I believe my music can bridge the gap between the two communities in Northern Ireland. There is still a very clear divide but people from both sides will hopefully find common ground through my observations and beliefs. My music is influential because it is real. I have shared my soul, exposed my beliefs and want to remind my generation of the dangers of mindless bigotry.”
