Another nice article about Jon’s upcoming album and ‘Ledge of Love’

Recently Jon has collaborated with Grammy nominated songwriter/producer Christian “Davis” Stalnecker and together they’ve produced Jon’s new album “Grown and Sexy”. Jon describes his genre as Urban Pop and believes that his acting background has helped him immensely as a singer. “We write these songs so that they tell a clear story.

How does Latin America influence your life?
Jon : Being of Latin descent, I have been influenced not only by heredity (Puerto Rico), but for many Latinos with whom I worked and shared in the military, the entertainment industry, as well as socially.
