Jonas Cepulis was born in a small town of Moletai (Lithuania). Growing up in a nearby Giedraiciai he received his first guitar as a gift when he was only 10 years old. Guitar became his life-time companion and in that tender age he began to write lyrics and play his first rock ballads together with his childhood friend Kristijonas Noreika. Eventually the idea of a band "Sillence" was born, where Jonas was the soloist and Kristijonas supported the guitar parts.
