Born Jonah Moore, October 6, 1970. His father was a Finnish orphan, adopted by a couple in Westboro, MA, USA. His mother moved with him to New Hampshire and married a man by whom he was adopted, and changed his name to Jonah Jay Jenkins.
Jonah began singing at a very early age with his mother, a trained vocalist. He performed with choral groups until his early teenage years. He began singing again in 1988, at age 17.
He formed Only Living Witness with Eric Stevenson, of Formicide in 1989. With the band, he performed in 14 countries including Sweden, England, France, Canada, Italy, Switzerland and the Czech Republic.
When Only Living Witness split in 1995, Jonah went on to form two bands, Miltown and Milligram. Miltown was signed by Larry Jacobson to [Irving Azoff]]'s Giant Records, aka Revolution Records.
Miltown recorded several demo tapes on their own with guitarist/producer Brian McTernan and guitarist Matt Squire, releasing a CDEP (Hydra Head Records) and two 7" vinyl records and one album for Revolution Records with producer Toby Wright (Alice In Chains, Jerry Cantrell, Korn) which was never released, and the group subsequently split.
Jonah then returned to work on Milligram, releasing two albums, Hello Motherfucker, and This Is Class War on three different labels: Tortuga (run by Mark Thompson, of Hydra Head Records), Overcome Records (France), and Detroit's Smallstone records.
In 2001, Jonah contributed lyrics and vocals for the the song "Stockholm (Blues)" on 5ive's Continuum Research Project's album "The Telestic Disfracture", on Tortuga Records.
In 2002, Jonah started a record label, TRAKTOR7, releasing albums by Milligram, Crash and Burn, Lamont, The Hidden, Waltham, Blacktail, Quintaine Americana, Morgan Knockers, and Black helicopter
In 2005, Jonah contributed vocals on two songs to Crash and Burn's album "The Value of Mistrust", on Thorp Records.
2006 saw Jonah providing vocals for 36 Crazyfists' album Rest Inside The Flames on the track "We Cannot Deny".
