Singer-songwriter Nefertiti Jones and Rock Guitarist Jimi K Bones came together in 2005 to form the band JonesBones. The music is a blend of hooky melodies, urban beats and rock guitars.

The song was also a finalist in the Song of the Year contest the same year. They have written several songs with Team Adam Levine’s former Voice artist Nicolette Mare, whose song, Perfect Day garnered over 30,000 views in the first few months of its release.

Jonesbones recently released their own music video, Time Bomb in April of 2016. The song was nominated as a semi finalist in the Song of the Year song-writing contest May of 2016. And last week, “Radio Host Nicole Ryan from Sirius XM's Morning Mash Up just tweeted about Time Bomb.”
