He left all his possessions to live on the streets of Berkeley and San Francisco where he played his guitar to get by. He rapidly gained the reputation of the vegan and sober street kid as he always denied any type of substances. Wandering all over the U.S., and traveling on freight trains, Jonah arrived to New York City where he continued sleeping in abandoned buildings, and artist houses in Brooklyn.Jonah started doing extra work in New York City to make money in addition to playing music on the subway to support himself.
