Jonathan Hatley (Bass, Choral Conductor)

Born: Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA

The American bass, Jonathan Hatley (Chad), studied Music Education - Vocal at the Texas Christian University (2013-2017), before moving to the UK. He studied at University of Birmingham (2021-2022), and since September 2022, he is Lay Clerk at The Choir of St John's College, Cambridge. He joined the Gents of St John's struggling to sound like a Brit. It is a conundrum why he has moved to Cambridge to work as a choral musician when the unfortunate condition of his Southern accent hinders him so. Luckily, the Gents are able to look past his flaws and have taken him in as one of their own, despite the age gap of nearly a decade. Jonathan, doesn’t claim to be proficient in any instrument, and therefore yearns to be a conductor. His indefatigable desire to get a job as one in Cambridge may or may not have anything to do with the fact that he could be deported if he doesn’t. He enjoys spending time with his wife and pets (who bafflingly still put up with him after several years), complaining about yet another rainy English day, and confusing ‘pants’ for trousers’. He currently lives in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England.
