Jon B

Songwriter, producer, vocalist, and instrumentalist Jon B. brought a distinctive focus on smooth melodies to contemporary R&B. Born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island and raised in Pasadena, California, Jon B. (short for Jonathan Buck) was the son of a professor of music and a concert pianist. Influenced by music found in his grandparents' record store, he began combining the spirit of '70s soul with hip-hop-inspired productions on his 1995 debut album, Bonafide. It peaked on Billboard's R&B Albums chart at number 24, led by the Top Ten R&B single 'Someone to Love,' a duet with prime influence Babyface, and went gold. His second album, 1997's Cool Relax, continued the emphasis on hip-hop soul and featured two of his biggest singles in 'They Don't Know' and the 2Pac-assisted 'Are U Still Down.' As a result, the set sold over a million copies, thus earning it platinum certification. During the following decade, Jon B. released three more albums -- Pleasures U Like (2001), Stronger Everyday (2004), and Helpless Romantic (2008). In 2012, the singer returned with Comfortable Swagg.

Also an accomplished songwriter for other artists, he penned material for the likes of Maxi Priest, For Real, After 7, Spice Girls, Az Yet, and Toni Braxton.

As we help others grow we grow. As we help others succeed we succeed." He's gone through it all, in his life, and knows that the struggle isn't over. "Everyday is a struggle.
The key is learning from mistakes, and being able to live with regrets. We'll never be perfect, but we can one day be proud of ourselves for truly trying to be the best we can be. Remember 'a diamond is a piece of coal that made good under pressure'. You can either crumble or get stronger. I choose the latter." Nino continuously inspires us to be the best us we can be, and gives us a bird’s eye view of his daily struggle to find FATHER, MOTIVATOR, HUMAN, NINO. Nothing more. Nothing less. Nino Breeze.
