Jon Bon Jovi has released several albums over his 30 year long career and won numerous awards not only for his musical flair but also for his dashing looks and humanitarian work around the world. 

Jon Bon Jovi was born in New Jersey on 2/2/1962. He attended school at St. Joseph High School but most of the times he was missing from his classes and bunking school to play music and take part in other musical activities. He even started 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 his hometown. 

During his very early years Jon Bon Jovi played with a quite a few different people such as the Atlantic City Expressway which was a ten-piece rhythm and blues band,Bon Jovi Concert Tickets Circle Tour Articles the Wild Ones, The Rest and The Lechers and John Bongiovi. However, one of Jon’s first 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 along with Hugh McDonald, his future band bassist and Dave Sabo, the future Skid Row guitarist, Jon wrote and recorded the number Runaway. At the start, no one from the major recording studios would accept his song, so he went to a WAPP-FM DJ and made him listen to Runaway, The DJ instantly loved the song and not only played the song but also put it to the WAPP record. The song was an immediate hit and rocked the charts. After the triumph of his first song Jon Bon Jovi signed his first major record contract with Mercury in 1983. This started his new band named Bon Jovi and a career that not many will not remember. 

The group now included 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.

After that the band released quite a few different albums which enjoyed worldwide success.
