Jonas Myrin is a Swedish singer, musician and songwriter based in Los Angeles, California. Myrin began his musical career in the early 2000s as a worship leader at Hillsong Church London and songwriter for various international acts, and later went on to become a solo artist in 2012. He is known for his work with Matt Redman with whom he won two Grammys for the song "10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)".
Myrin began songwriting at an early age. His parents, who worked as missionaries, provided Myrin with Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway records, which he has cited as a major influence on his work. Myrin later moved to London, where he became active with Hillsong London and co-wrote several songs that were featured on various albums by Hillsong Music. Since then Myrin has written songs with various musicians such as members of Supergrass, Peter Bjorn and John, and has appeared in the 2002 music video for the Sophie Ellis-Bextor song "Get Over You".
In June 2012 Myrin released his first single, "The Day of the Battle", which has been certified gold in Germany. Myrin later co-wrote the song "10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)" with Matt Redman (who performed the song). The song has won two Grammys and spent 16 weeks at the top spot on Christian Radio and remained number 1 on the Billboard Christian Songs Chart for four months.
