Early life and education

Jon Hopkins was born in 1979 in Kingston upon Thames and grew up in nearby Wimbledon. DJ Magazine gave it 4/5 stars, and stated "Piano, guitar strings and slow beats blend like the clouds at sunset (or an opiate smoothy) filtering in and out like elegantly wasted beauty. Darker drums add a further depth."

Hopkins' fifth studio album, Singularity, was released on Domino Records on 4 May 2018. It was nominated for the Grammy award for Best Dance/Electronic Album. In 2024, he released the album Ritual.
