個人經歷
Bodhi Jones早年與他的母親和妹妹在在Saltspring島、BC上度過。在他十歲那年他媽媽家搬到溫哥華尋找更多的機會。Bodhi發現他對音樂的激情始於他病懨懨的、謎一般的十歲之前,並在這之後自然形成了他獨特的音樂特徵:中高音流行電聲搖滾。
他從最初作為兩名男子組合"Rider Jones"的主唱逐漸變成獨唱歌手,2005年以來,菩提已錄得5張EP和3全長專輯,同時在溫哥華市中心的街道上街頭賣超過15 000份。2007年組合"Rider Jones"解體後他自學吉他,最終寫成他第一次獨奏專輯"“From January to June",售出1000多份。
2009年2月,Bodhi Jones自寫、自唱和自錄同名專輯《BodhiJones》,他的這張全長專輯和2010年4月他發步的名為《Where Do We Go From Here?》全長專輯都是由Winston·Hauschild (Hannah Georgas)製作,Shawn Cole (Bend Sinister,Yukon Blonde, andYou Say Party! We Say Die!)來混音.
2009,菩提被選為維珍電台95.3"當月最好的不列顛哥倫比亞省藝術家";同年被票選為2009年最佳表演項目獎20強,這也是他第六次入選此獎;同年他被The Georgia Straight稱為溫哥華的最佳當街頭藝人。2010年他再次被票選為當年最佳表演項目獎20強。
2010年,菩提在CTV’s Canada AMand Global BC’s Morning Show"的當年的冬奧會直播上演唱他的冬奧會靈感歌曲《Hey El Nino》,同年10月他在Shaw CablesUrban Rush上再次演唱了這首歌。他最新專輯 《Where Do We Go From Here?》10月1日正式發布,之後在CBC Radio 3、 CBC Radio 1、Virgin RadioVancouver、The Shore、CITR和CFSFU等電台播放次數達100.5次。

經典歌曲
Oh Father
-- Bodhi Jones
I never wanted anything from you but time
is it too late now
cause the mountain's too much for us to climb
there were days I felt the shame
that I could not relate
there were nights I felt the fraid
that I never felt quite right
there were nights I felt that I would die
so tell me who are you I need to know
without you I'm not whole
Oh father bear your soul
Oh father
I never wanted anything from you but love
is it too late now
or is the damage already been done
there were days I sit and wait
wishing you come and play
there were nights I lay awake
and wonder what you'd say to me
there were nights I lay awake and pray
So tell me who are you I need to know
without you I'm not whole
Oh father bear your soul
Come on say who are you I need to know
Without you I'm not whole
Oh father father bear your soul
Talk to me
Talk to me
man to man
Talk to me
help me to understand
talk to me
talk to me
man to man
come on and talk to me
help me to understand
tell me who are you I need to know
without you I'm not whole
Oh father father bear your soul
So tell me who are you I need to know
without you I'm not whole
Oh father bear your soul
let the past go
Tell me who are you I need to know
without you I'm not whole
Oh father father bear your soul
Come on now father
bear your soul
oh yeah now father bear your soul
