Meet JoMo - The Man behind the Studio

I’m Jonathan Morales - but some people know me as Jonny or JoMo. Born in the north-side of Chicago with humble beginnings and deep family origins in the city and Yauco, Puerto Rico. Proficient in English and studied Spanish so that I could converse con mi abuelita. My work is governed by these truths: an unshakeable love for people, for exploring, for self-growth, and for representing Goodness.

Drury Plaza Hotel at Disney Springs Area: Bartending & Sales

Bartending at Drury Plaza Hotel Disney Springs was the financial engine and human grounding force that allowed me to bootstrap and build JOMO Film Studio from the ground up. Managing Sales Admin logistics while serving 150+ guests weekly taught me real-time empathy, active listening, and the art of making anyone feel comfortable with a simple fist bump and calling them by name.

Honduras Mission Trip & Rebuild Yourself Inc.

Serving on my first mission trip to Honduras delivering clean water filtration buckets to local families reminded me of what matters most - serving. That same passion led me to spend a year as a youth mentor with Rebuild Yourself Inc., empowering the next generation to realize their worth and develop social and leadership skills.

Education & Psychology • Sept 2021 – Aug 2023

Valencia College: Associate of Arts (Positive Psychology Focused)

Earning my AA degree from Valencia College transformed my approach to life and social media. It was no longer an extension of my worth, but what I believe in instead. Studying human behavior and positive psychology proved what I experienced in software sales: people don't buy products—they buy from people, truth, and transparency.

Rhythm & Expression: Salsa Heat & Orlando Touch

Going back to the things I loved. Channeling passion, rhythm, and timing through Latin dance. Performing at the Orlando Salsa Congress with Salsa Heat Team (Season 2) and dancing with Orlando Touch Bachata Team (Season 1) sharpened my eye for musicality, cuts, and visual emotion behind the camera.

Heritage & Roots • Chicago to PR

Raised By An Army of Resilent Women (Chicago to PR)

100% Boricua, raised in Chicago by an army of resilient women—my mom and mis tías. Grounded by our roots in el barrio de Diego Hernandez, Yauco, Puerto Rico, they instilled in me ambition, grit, and the strength that forms the foundation of every narrative I capture today.
