Jon Muq is the 2026 Swan Songs Serenade performer

For Jon Muq, a singer-songwriter born in Uganda and now living in Austin, Texas, music is part of a larger conversation
he’s having with the world and everybody in it. Drawing from African as well as western musical trends and traditions,
he devises songs as small gifts, designed to settle into everyday life and provoke reflection and resilience.
“These days the world is sad,” he explains, “so I wanted to make happy songs. I wanted to write songs that connected with the listener in a very personal way. When someone listens to my music, it’s not just about me and what I’m singing.
It’s about how they understand the songs individually. I think these songs can speak many languages, depending
on what you want from them.” Read more on Jon’s website.
