About Me |
|
| Born and raised on the south side of Richmond, Virginia, Jonathan Bibbs (better known as Jon Bibbs) is a singer, songwriter, producer and musician who is making quite a name for himself in the independent soul music world.
Jon’s musical odyssey began at the tender age of two years old, when his mother, (a Baptist preacher and pastor) enrolled him in piano classes at Virginia Commonwealth University. By age 12, Jon was being heralded as a “musical prodigy,” playing engagements with the Richmond Philharmonic Orchestra and playing all of the major stages in the Richmond metro area.
Jon enrolled at Hampton University in 1999. While at the university, Jon discovered his vocal abilities at late night recording sessions with dorm-mates and music engineering students. Before long, the secret was out.... Jon could REALLY sing! Once again, Jon became a local sensation; this time in Hampton Roads.
In 2001, Jon released his first recording project “True Story”. The CD took off in the local market, and began to turn heads of musical taste makers throughout the eastern region of the U.S. His follow up project “Red: The Color of Love” proved to be a major breakthrough for Jon, garnering him national attention and putting him in high demand throughout the east. The release of his last project, “Unbreakable” (2005) solidified his place in the underground soul music world.
Since his entry in the independent soul music industry, Jon has recorded and performed along-side some of the music industry’s best producers, musicians and performers including: Kardi’nal Official, Morris Day & the Time, Kris Haskins, Bilal, Busta Rhymes, John Legend, Anthony David, Mike Philips, Raheem DeVaughn, Sleepy Brown, Stick Man (of Dead Prez), Chuck Brown, Ledisi, Donnie, Jaguar Wright, Jean Grae and Nottz Raw to name just a few.
To support his musical endeavors, Jon works in the administration at Richmond Preparatory Christian Academy, heading up the summer session, arts department and technology education programs at the school. He is also the director of and musician for a small choral ensemble, the YJB Ensemble at Sixth Baptist Church in Richmond. |
