Jonathan McReynolds - A guitar playing gospel singer? That has heavy pop influences? Yes, Jonathan McReynolds makes that type of music. We're not sure of his secular influences, but if he were a secular artist, we think he might sound like the following. (Photo: Cooper Neill/Getty Images for BET)

Bruno Mars - The most obvious comparison, Bruno has upbeat pop music that goes along with his guitar-playing antics on stage. Though McReynolds' music varies when it comes to tempo, we're sure he has the ability to make music in this vein whenever he feels like. (Photo: Joe Scarnici/Getty Images for EIF)

Raphael Saadiq - McReynolds doesn't have as many old school inspired hits as Raphael Saadiq does, but best believe both know how to hold down the strings on a guitar. (Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

D'Angelo - McReynolds may not have the same vocal abilities as D'Angelo, but we're pretty sure if he got on stage with a guitar the way D'Angelo does, there'd be a worthwhile comparison. (Photo: Nick Pickles/WireImage)

Jewel - If you listen to some of McReynolds' acoustically driven songs (in particular his Unplugged performances on YouTube), there's a bluegrassy feel that invokes some of Jewel's music. (Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

Darius Rucker - Similar to Jewel, Darius Rucker also knows how to invoke that bluegrass feel and his work with Hootie and the Blowfish validates that. McReynolds isn't a far cry from Rucker when it comes to balancing vocals with a guitar in hand. (Photo: Andrew Goodman/Getty Images)
