Jon Bon Jovi has released quite a few albums over his 30 year long career and won many awards not only for his musical skills but also for his dashing looks and charitable work around the globe.
Jon Bon Jovi was born in New Jersey on 2/2/1962. He went to school at St. Joseph High School but most of the times he was not going for his classes and bunking lessons to play music and take part in other musical activities. He even commenced playing with a local band from a very young age and by the time he was 16 he was already playing at clubs in and around New Jersey.
During his early years Jon Bon Jovi performed with a number of different people 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 die hard rock song 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. In the beginning, none of the major music companies would accept his song, so he went to a WAPP-FM DJ and made him listen to Runaway, The DJ instantly liked the song and not only played the song but also put it to the WAPP record. The song was an instant hit 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 band now included Jon Bon Jovi on 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 a lot of acknowledgement. But the bands fortunes were about to transform when they hired songwriter Desmond Child. Desmond helped write the songs in the bands third album named “Slippery When Wet”, which sold in excess of 28 million albums. After that the band released quite a few different albums which enjoyed international success.
Presently, the band has scheduled on a concert tour which will take them through North America and Europe. The first show of their tour, which is been titled the Circle World Tour, will be held in Honolulu, HI on February, 11th 2010. Besides a many American cities the big cities that the gorup will play during their tour are Montreal, Charlotte, Anaheim, Los Angeles, Nashville, Fargo, Auburn Hills, Winnipeg, Atlanta and Regina.
