The story behind Rest In Music is both sad, but uplifting. Jonny's brother, Mikel Gius is a musician, who tragically passed away in 2005. The words that Jonny kept thinking about were “Rest in Music”, not “rest in peace”. Because that's what his brother was about. No matter what he was doing. He kept his mind Rested In Music as he did it. He always seemed content, whether playing his drums or working.

In 2012, Jonny decided to make something in his memory.

As Jonny wore the first t-shirt, he couldn't believe the response from everyone. The words gave people the reminder that:

“When Life Gives You A Break, Rest In Music.”

It's why we go to concerts. Or queue up our favorite albums and artists. To forget about the struggles of life for a while. Or to remind us of the good times.

As they were printing the words “Rest In Music” on the front, some new words came to mind.

“When Given the Feeling of Music, Rest In It.”

And he knew those needed to back up the message. That's why every Rest In Music t-shirt features that quote on the back.

Life can get stressful. When you Rest In Music, it helps medicate, one song at a time. So when you get home after one of those days, sit back, push play and Rest In Music.
