Nithanya: Music of Jon Katz

My brother has been playing music since we were little. Although he was an award-winning musician with the clarinet, more recently, he’s been playing keyboard and composing. I managed to obtain smoking-gun blackmail material: an “interesting” music video of Nithanya[1], a song off his Brandon Project CD. He’s the Asian guy with the turban moving rhythmically while at the keyboard.2 I would describe the song as Indian folk tune meets rap.


Jon Katz, swaying to the beat
Belly dancer guarded by bellhops!

Jon, swaying to the beat. Belly dancers, bellhops, disco lights, and rappers, oh my! Toto, we’re not in Kansas anymore.

2 Nice costume, Jon.
