Rancho Cucamonga, California & Sweden (The Hollywood Times) 12/24/2020 – “I have not seen my mother and sister for over a year and I am so excited to be back in Sweden to spend Christmas with them.” Two-time Grammy and Billboard Award winner, Jonas Myrin told The Hollywood Times during an interview earlier this week via Zoom. Jonas was staying at a castle in Sweden during the interview, how cool was that!

It sure was great to catch up with Jonas since our first interview back in August of this year, where we discussed his latest single at the time “Not Alone.”  He told me that he got to perform his brand new world premiere song “Just A Breath Away (Noel)” with Idina Menzel for the 2020 USO Holiday Special that aired last week, held for the U.S. troops around the globe.

The stage is decorated with holiday trees, presents, Jonas playing the piano and Idina Menzel sitting at the end of the piano, looking beautiful as ever. Just a beautiful song and presentation by these two amazing singers.

Please watch it below and share this article with all your family members and friends on Christmas day.  We all need this type of message found in this beautiful song.

Enjoy our conversation:

Just A Breath Away (Noel) is currently available worldwide for streaming and download, as well as heard over the end-credits of The Three Wise Men, told in rhyme by the legendary Andy Griffith, released via Reel FX Animation and Aspiration Entertainment. The film was directed by Yarrow Cheney of the animated mega-hits The Secret Life of Pets and Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch.  Yarrow and his wife, Carrie Cheney, developed and produced the original holiday film, which was previously only available as a limited edition DVD under the original title The Very First Noel (originally released in 2006).  The Three Wise Men is now available in the U.S. on transactional video-on-demand platforms (TVOD), followed by streaming and live TheatriCast events that include special showings of the movie.

Following his recent single release of Not Alone, the highly sought-after songwriter and performer will also be the featured artist on Idina Menzel’s re-release of “At This Table,” co-written by Myrin, available now at Target stores nationwide.

“To me, music is a way for us to feel connected to something bigger than ourselves. In the middle of a tough time, I chose to use my pain and turn it into purpose and a song. My desire is that ‘Not Alone’ will give hope to others in what they’re going through. We can all find faith if we are willing to open up our hearts. Together, we’re never alone.” – Jonas.
