Star Readings: Jon B.

Before Remy Shand, Before Justin Timberlake and yes, even before Robin Thicke. There was Jonathan David Buck. Better known as Jon B. I have to admit when Jon B first came onto the music scene in '95. I thought, “He hasn't found his voice yet”. However, by the time 97' came along. My opinion about him changed. I saw a man who clearly matured and found his voice along with his own personal style.

Today though, we're not going to talk about just his music. Today, I want you to get to know the man as well as the performer. Are you ready? I am. Let's Go!

Jon's Marriage

When I pick up on Jon's marriage. The first thing that comes to mind is. “Good times and bad/we've got each other.” It may seem like to others that their dynamic is a bit wired at times. Trust me, it's not. Contrary to what we may think. Jon is a very tender, shy and at times emotional guy. (He over thinks and worries about damn near everything. ) That's where his lovely wife comes in. Wear he protects and provides, she uplifts and when she has to takes charge. Even though I do pick up that she can be a bit unsure of herself. Don't worry girl, even though he's a perfectionist and can be distant at times. He loves you more than you think.

Jon's Music

Jon is on a evolutionary journey when it comes to his music. He wants to stick to his true sound while at the same time expanding and growing both vocally and musically. I pick up two more albums coming very soon. I feel that one is going to be even more frisky than his previous works. As well we're going to hear him experiment with different rhythms and sounds. Think Bruno Mars meets cuban jazz. He really wants to challenge himself. While keeping his true blue fans happy. Trust me Jon, you will. There's also going to be more touring and I pick up his concerts becoming more like an intimate gathering. Almost like a one man show. He'll talk a little, sing a lot, and laugh a whole lot. As he has a great sense of humor. He's a big goofball off stage. There's also a lot of contacts and deals regarding distribution coming your way along with some possible radio work as well. In the next three to five months.

Jon's Health

Worry, worry, worry. That's the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Jon's physical health. Man, you work enough and worry too damn much! Jon is a thinker. He's always thinking, not just about music but about the world as a whole. I see him wanting to give back. He's going to work with children (If he isn't already) and I see him giving time to rehabilitation centers as well. As he knows suffering and wants to help those that need it. I also get the sense that he sees his music as tool of healing as well. I also see him teaching what he knows about the music business to kids. He wants the next generation to avoid the pitfalls of the industry.

Jon and Spirituality

Though he's not one to talk about his faith. I pick up that's been a big and very important part of his life. He's been grounded in his faith for at least the last five years and he knows that without it. He wouldn't be lost per se' he just wouldn't be Jon. Prayer and moments where he can just be alone are what keep him grounded. Although, I would caution you Jon, to not isolate yourself. It's okay to not be so private all the time.

Jon, you're doing just fine and as long as you keep singing. You will always be wanted, needed and desired. Keep doing your thing and remaining humble while doing it.

Love, Leo Brown :)
