Jonathan Young

Jonathan Young is an American singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer based in San Diego, California, best known for his YouTube covers reimagining songs from anime, video games and Disney films. His versions of anime openings and endings — including tracks tied to «JoJo's Bizarre Adventure», «Attack on Titan» and «My Hero Academia» — routinely rework the originals into rock, symphonic metal or pop arrangements, often performed with fellow YouTube musicians.

His channel grew from covers into wider recognition: Young has been featured on official anime releases, including an English ending theme for «Dragon Ball Super» and an opening for «Beyblade Burst Rise», bridging the gap between fan-made covers and licensed anime music. His vocal range and willingness to move between genres — from theatrical metal bombast to lighter, funk-inflected pop — set him apart within the online cover-music scene.

Beyond covers, Young records original material as the power metal project Galactikraken, releasing the album «Starship Velociraptor» in 2021. Across both his covers and original work, he has built one of the more prominent voices in the anime-adjacent corner of YouTube music, amassing a large subscriber base and frequent collaborations with other online singers and producers.
