Show", "Good Morning America", "Saturday Nite Live", "The Arsenio Hall Show", "The Rosie O'Donnell Show", "The Joan Rivers Show", "The Top Of
The Pops Show"; record music videos, movie song titles, and television commercials. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, the third son of a musical
family of siblings, Jonathan began playing on a marching snare drum at the tender age of six. By the tender age of nine, he was playing in local
nightclubs, talent shows and special events.
After arriving in Los Angeles in the middle of January 1979, he was in contact with Jermaine Jackson, his brothers "The Jacksons", groups Undisputed
Truth and New Birth. Formal requests from these artist were considered and Jonathan decided to join "The Jacksons". After just six weeks in Los
Angeles, Jonathan embarked upon his first major tour with the Jackson Family in the spring of 1979. Jonathan was a success, and two more U.S.
Tours with The Jacksons followed, one in the winter of 1979 and the other in the Spring of 1981. His career was off to an incredible start. 1982
was packed with two additional tours, one with Patti Austin in the Spring, and the R&B funk/rock group Cameo in the Fall.
To carry him over from 1982 through 1983, Jonathan joined Lionel Richie's first 'solo artist' efforts, which included The Tokyo Music Festival,
Japanese Television Shows, America's 'Saturday Nite Live' and Johnny Carson's 'The Tonight Show'. The summer of 1983, Jonathan rejoined Cameo
for his second tour with the group. The Jacksons relationship again resumed for the massive 1984 "Jacksons Victory Tour", which occupied the
greater part of that year. After seeing Jonathan's performance in a 'Victory Tour' concert at Los Angeles's Dodger Stadium, Madonna requested
his services for her 1985 debut "Virgin Tour", which was to be the first of many. Following the Virgin tour he performed with R+B recording
artist Tina Marie, December 1985 to January 1986. With an impressive list of credits, Jonathan toured with Jermaine Jackson, and was showcased
as Jermaine's Musical Director. The tour lasted from spring through the fall of 1986. Jonathan completed that year with his third Cameo tour.
In the Spring of 1987, Jonathan rejoined Madonna for her Spring/Fall tour. Then it was into the recording studio with producer, songwriter
Patrick Leonard for album projects that included Peter Cetera, Julian Lennon, and Madonnas' "Like A Prayer". The following year in 1988, Jonathan
wrote, arranged, produced, performed and sang background on a song for the Eddie Murphy/Arscnio Hall hit comedy feature film "Coming to America",
for Paramount Pictures. Then, that summer he began his first association with pop legend, Elton John, which continued through October 1989
encompassing two U. S. tours, a European tour, a U.K. tour and the recording of Elton's "Sleeping With The Past" album. The spring of 1990
began Jonathan's third world tour with Madonna and two more album associations with "True Blue" and "Dick Tracy" movie sound track, followed
by Madonna's 1991 "Truth or Dare" feature film. 1991 also included two tours with George Michael, one in the U.S. and the other in Europe and
South America. The next two years were filled with numerous television appearances, studio recordings, videos and continued writing, arranging,
performing and producing of Jonathan's own personal solo efforts. The years '93 and '94 brought Jonathan back to the Jackson family, with Janet
Jackson's 1993-1994 "Janet" tour. In the spring of 1996 Jonathan toured with the Isley Brothers before embarking upon Michael Jackson's impressive
"History" tour which lasted through the winter of 1997.
His most recent associations include Italian Rock Superstar Vasco Rossi, Stevie Wonder, Babyface, Kool and The Gang, more touring with Cameo,
and Kenny G. Along with Jonathan's impressive list of credits, he is a proud inductee into the Marquis "Who's Who Journals" including "Who's
Who in The World", "Who's Who in America" "Who's Who in the West" and "Who's Who in Entertainment". His aspirations are many, and his dedication
to perfection during his quest for fulfillment of them is honest. Through his gifts, he hopes to touch as many lives as possible and share them
with the world.
