==Early life==
Jones was born in Eureka, South Dakota to parents Norman and Lena Jones. Shortly thereafter the family relocated to Sutton, Nebraska where his father was pastor of the Hope Reformed Church. As with many artists, Jones' first exposure to music was in the church.〔(Calvin Jones: History and Discography )〕 He began piano lessons at the age of 6 and began composing at about age 10. The son of a minister, Jones had many opportunities to use his talents and found early on that piano was his instrument and he realized his aptitude for improvisation. His classical training was a great foundation but he approached the pieces with energy and emotion uniquely his own.〔(Calvin Jones: History and Discography )〕 At age 9 the family moved to Pierre, South Dakota. Throughout his high school and college experience, Jones was involved in the typical opportunities such as swing choir, stage band and musicals and an occasional talent show.〔(Calvin Jones: History and Discography )〕 Attending college on a musical scholarship, Jones continued to study composition.〔(Calvin Jones: History and Discography )〕 He ended his college classes with a B.S. in Economics from Hillsdale College in 1988 which has proved invaluable in the development of his musical career.〔(Calvin Jones: History and Discography )〕 Jones has started his own record company called Personal Records and managed to sign with City of Peace Records/Sony Music for distribution worldwide.〔(Biography of Calvin Jones by biomaster )〕
