Jon B is a consummate artist. He is an accomplished musician and noted songwriter and producer with several gold and platinum records under his belt. His is a richly textured body of music, a testament to one man’s love for all things soul. His beginning was seasoned by early influences including Duran Duran, Inxs, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Babyface, Prince and Sade.

Within a few months, he’d met Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds and his wife, Tracy Edmonds. Soon, they signed Jon to their label, Edmonds Record Group. Then, the relationship between Jon and Edmonds immediately bore fruit. His debut album Bonafide went platinum and the single “Someone to Love” received a Grammy nomination. His sophomore effort, Cool Relax, also went platinum and earned him multiple Billboard Music Award nominations. Additionally, he received a Soul Train Music Award nomination for Best Male Single for “Are U Still Down”. This featured the legendary Tupac Shakur collaborating with Jon in the studio.
