Jon Bon Jovi has released several albums over his 30 year long career and won many awards not only for his musical skills but also for his attractive looks and charitable work around the globe.
Jon Bon Jovi was born in New Jersey on March 2nd, 1962. He went to school at St. Joseph High School but alot of the times he was absent from his classes and bunking classes to play music and take part in other musical activities. Jon even began playing with a local band from a very young age and by his 16th birthday he was already playing at clubs in and around his hometown.
During his initial years Jon Bon Jovi played with a number of different groups such as the Atlantic City Expressway which was a ten-piece rhythm and blues band, the Wild Ones, The Rest and The Lechers and John Bongiovi. However, one of Jon’s earliest recording ever was no hardcore rock number but a Christmas Carol in 1980 called "R2-D2 We Wish You A Merry Christmas."
In the early 80's Jon was really looking for a break into the rock music industry and with Hugh McDonald, his future band bassist and Dave Sabo, the future Skid Row guitarist, Jon wrote and recorded the number Runaway. At first, no one from the major music companies would accept his song, so Jon went to a WAPP-FM DJ and made him listen to Runaway, The DJ immediately loved the song and not only played the song but also put it to the WAPP record. The song was an instantaneous success and rocked the charts. After the triumph of his first song Jon Bon Jovi signed his initial major record contract with Mercury in 1983. This gave start to his new band named Bon Jovi and a career that few will not remember.
The group now had Jon Bon Jovi on lead vocals and guitar, Richie Sambora on guitar and backup vocals, Tico Torres on drums and percussions and David Bryan on keyboard and backup vocals. The Bon Jovi band’s foremost album named “Bon Jovi” was released in 1984 and the record went gold, selling over half a million albums. However, the preceding record was a failure and didn’t get much of recognition. But the bands luck were about to change when they brought in songwriter Desmond Child. Desmond helped write the songs in the bands third album named “Slippery When Wet”, which sold over 28 million copies. After that the band released many different albums which enjoyed worldwide success.
Currently, the band has scheduled on a tour which will take them through North America and Europe. The first concert of their tour, which is been titled the Circle Tour, will be held in Honolulu, HI on February, 11th 2010.
