About Onelinedrawing

Onelinedrawing is the solo musical project of Jonah Matranga, a pioneering figure in alternative rock and emo with a career spanning over thirty years. Born in Brookline, Massachusetts, Matranga initially gained recognition fronting influential bands such as FAR, New End Original, and Gratitude. His innovative contributions helped shape the emo and post-hardcore scenes, leaving a lasting imprint on notable acts like Deftones, Blink-182, Thursday, and Dashboard Confessional. Early tours alongside these groups not only elevated his profile but also solidified his role as a mentor to emerging artists.

Under the Onelinedrawing moniker, Matranga embraces a stripped-down, intimate approach, typically featuring just his heartfelt vocals and guitar. Occasionally accompanied by a playful R2D2 sidekick, his performances range from basement shows to major festivals, delivering raw honesty and emotional immediacy that foster deep connections with fans. Navigating both indie labels like Jade Tree and major players such as Atlantic Records, his work blends introspective lyricism with a unique personal touch.

Matranga’s philosophy, “I never wanted to be #1, just one of one,” reflects his enduring dedication to authenticity over commercial success. This ethos, combined with his unwavering creativity and influential legacy, ensures Onelinedrawing remains a vital and respected force within alternative music’s evolving landscape.
