Fines grew up in the town of Loughborough, Leicestershire, England. He graduated from the Guildford School of Acting in 2010 and has subsequently appeared in a wide variety of roles in theatre and television. As well as UK-wide tours, he has also performed in foreign productions. He made his professional West End debut at the Piccadilly Theatre[1] in London in 2017.

His roles include Zack Mayo in the 2018 UK tour of An Officer and a Gentleman: The Musical[2] and Rooster Hannigan in the 2017 UK tour of Annie[3] alongside Craig Revel Horwood[4], Lesley Joseph[5] and Meera Syal[6]. Fines continued playing the character for a further year, with Miranda Hart[7] playing the sister of his character, when the production moved to the West End.

Jonny appeared, in character, live on UK television during the BBC's Children in Need event in 2017 performing the song Easy Street from the musical Annie alongside his partner Djalenga Scott who was heavily pregnant at the time with their first child.[8]

He appeared again on UK television in the long-running Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks in 2019 playing the character of Officer Turley[9]. It was announced in April 2019 that Fines would be returning to the Curve Theatre, Leicester in September to take part in a theatrical version of the 1985 comedy-drama film, My Beautiful Laundrette.[10]. The production then began a limited-run UK tour ending in Birmingham in November 2019.
