From: Des Moines, IA/Current city: Atlanta, GA As a kid Jon grew up playing the piano and trumpet. At 14, he saw Whitney Houston sing in the movie "The Preacher's Wife" and decided that singing is what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. At 25, Jon moved from Des Moines to Atlanta in hopes of finding more musical opportunities. When Jon arrived in Atlanta, he got the chance to perform with CeeLo Green, which furthered his motivation and passion. Currently, Jon works as a corporate singer in the Celebrity All-Star Band. He gigs with the band at parties and corporate events, which has helped him develop his singing and performing skills.
