About Me

“Nothing is out of the question for me. I’m always thinking about creating. My future starts when I wake up in the morning and see the light…Then I’m grateful.” -Miles Davis~~~~~~~~"I am both a loving husband and dedicated musician. As an artist, I not only make music for my own expression, but for the encouragement, edification and inspiration it gives to others." -Jovon~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jovon Bova is a singer/songwriter from Columbus, Ohio. You could say he’s an alternative artist, combining r&b with rock, while sneaking in bits of several other popular genres. His heavily rooted eclecticism stems from various influences, ranging from legends like Luther Vandross, Prince, Miles Davis and Sade to the artful noise of Radiohead, Stone Temple Pilots, Flaming Lips and Bjork.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ His experiences are almost as eclectic as his tastes. An eight year stint in the r&b vocal group Up2Par (www.up2parmusic.com) was followed by a two year run in the free-wheeling rock band, Madwill.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Still residing in Columbus, he is currently performing acoustically in and around the central Ohio area as a solo artist and is the lead singer and rhythm guitarist for the band Garage Floor (www.myspace.com/garagefloormusic).
