Summary:
Jon Walker is most well known as the ex-bass player/occasional backing vocalist of Panic! at the Disco. Since leaving Panic! he has been a part of the short-lived band The Young Veins with fellow ex-Panic! member Ryan Ross, and has an ongoing solo career.
Walker is, as his overall range would suggest, very much a vocalist who spends most of his time in his mid range. On the rare occasions that he does use his high range he favours a very clean sound that doesn't push his limits too much. His low range, while perhaps a little underdeveloped, is decent enough for what it is. Overall, a pleasant voice that fits well with the styles of music he tends to play.

I'm pretty sure that the "Funnel of Love" F♯5 and the backing vocals from the Crazy Dream EP aren't Jon, but I'm listing them here just to acknowledge their existence as they were in the thread for a long time and to give an explanation as to why the notes aren't in the main thread anymore.
