FINALLY! Into an era filled with shallow, over-played power pop and hip hop comes Boston-based singer-songwriter Jon Robert. A name that is synonymous with catchy pop melodies, great song-writing, emotive vocals, and sincere passion, Jon Robert is riding the wave of excitement for the release of his highly anticipated debut full-length album "MEANT TO BE."
This record has been long-awaited by both fans and industry professionals from Maine to California. Over the past three years, Jon has performed over 400 shows to crowds of up to 18,000 in attendance.
It all started with a call from a leading artist management company asking JR to perform in front of a sold-out 4000 seat arena opening for the teen pop sensation JoJo. The reaction from the crowd was visibly sensational, and led to JR opening for JOHN MAYER, MAROON 5, JAMES BLUNT, COUNTING CROWS, THE JONAS BROTHERS AND THE POLICE.
Off the stage, Jon Robert has built and maintained an astonishing presence on the internet securing thousands of fans on Myspace, MTVU, YouTube, and Facebook . Accompanying his online success, Jon Robert's 2007 EP was licensed to MTV and has received multiple placements on "THE REAL WORLD, "THE GAUNTLET III," and most recently "THE HILLS." His song "TOUCH DOWN" was featured on the show's season finale, AN EPISODE THAT WAS WATCHED BY 33.7 MILLION VIEWERS.
Not yet officially released on Texas-based artist development music company Red Cup Records, a percentage of Jon Robert's record sales will be donated to a charity that helps homeless children. "This is just the beginning," says JR. After hearing a sneak preview of the new record, fan anticipation is sure to be intense. The album is a pop-infused modern day classic. Performing songs like the title track "MEANT TO BE" and "MYSELF IN YOU" along with ballads such as " VICTIM FOR LIFE" and "CLEAR," look for Jon Robert everywhere in 2008!
