Jonathan’s first single broke down racial barriers becoming the first song by a black artist played by white radio stations in South Africa and won the South African equivalent to a Grammy®. He was signed to Caulder’s Jive Records and the rest is history. Ultimately, his ticket to a new life was music.Īt thirteen, Jonathan’s talents caught the eyes and ears of the British record producer Clive Caulder. On occasion he would perform at lavish concert halls for whites only, where he would not be allowed to use the bathroom, and the very next night he would perform in a dilapidated local township. In his early teens Butler won a local talent contest, affording him the opportunity to perform with a touring musical company throughout South Africa. From then on, Jonathan’s musical gifts grew by leaps and bounds. Little did his father realize that he was giving way to a musical phenomenon. Jonathan’s story begins at a very young age when his father presented him with a homemade one-string guitar. In more ways than one, Jonathan Butler is representative of South Africa.

It is for this reason Nelson Mandela credits Butler’s music as having inspired him during his imprisonment. Though his musical abilities would take him away from the world he grew up in, Jonathan would neither forget the plight of his fellow South Africans, nor the man that led them to freedom. Born in South Africa under the shadow of apartheid and raised in poverty, Butler was the first non-white artist to be played on South African radio and appear on national television.
