Born and raised in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Jon’s talent and passion for music came to life on Christmas Eve when he received his first guitar at the age of six. At his young adolescent age with his childhood friends he formed a band. Practicing late nights and during the Ethiopian revolution of 1978, Jon was risking it all for their band. Soon after the SEVAN BAND was formed and it was the beginning of their passion for music. In 1986 conditions in Ethiopia were unstable, leading Jon to journey to Los Angeles, California.
He continued his musical career, performing as a professional vocalist.
