    • Biography

    McFly rose to fame in 2004, in part due to their association with Busted who helped launch them by offering them the position of support act in their tour, A Present for Everyone. Jones met Tom Fletcher when he auditioned for the boyband V (whom he had mistaken as being a more Bustedesque band), Fletcher, who was filming the auditions for Island Records, later approached Jones. The two conversed and found they had common interests and so Fletcher invited Jones to write with him and James Bourne. When writing projects for Busted had ended, the two began writing for their own then unnamed band, eventually moving, temporarily, into the InterContinental Hotel, in London. Drummer (Harry Judd) and bassist (Dougie Poynter) were subsequently recruited via an advert placed by the duo in the NME magazine. Jones has co-written all four of McFly's studio albums along with his fellow band members. He also penned three of his own, solo, tracks, on the first three McFly albums. Jones also takes the role of lead guitarist in most performances, with Fletcher acting as rhythm guitar, and can be seen performing solos in songs such as That Girl, I Wanna Hold You, Everybody Knows & Transylvania
