Early Life
Born in South Africa to parents who were both classical musicians—Jones' father is John Pryce-Jones. Jones began playing music at fours years of age and initially resisted the musical influence of his parents. Jones' first job was at a fish and chip business called "Harry Ramsden’s", where he was a kitchen porter, and the first piece of recorded music he purchased was the "Do they know it’s Christmas?" single, by the Band Aid project.
