Having worked as a Janitor is a noble job. When Jon Bon Jovi (born as John Francis Bongiovi, Jr.) was seventeen, he was the Janitor of his cousin Tony Bongiovi's recording studio, the Power Station. This cousin of him knew how passionate Jon Bon Jovi is with music because John spent most of his adolescence skipping school to opt for music activities instead, and ended up playing in local bands with friends and his cousin Tony Bongiovi. When Meco was in Tony's studio recording Christmas in the Stars: The Star Wars Christmas Album in 1980, Tony recommended the song to Jon "R2-D2 We Wish You A Merry Christmas" and became Jon Bon Jovi's first professional recording.
The song entitled "Runaway" was recorded by Jon Bon Jovi in June 1982, caught the attention of the radio stations in New Jersey and Jon then recruited a band to support the song. Soon the band attracted a record company bidding war with some major labels, his band became known as Bon Jovi - a diversion from his real surname in order to generate a wider audience fan base due to its disconnection with Jon’s true Italian ethnicity.
"Have a Nice Day", was the band's new album, reached #1 in Australia, Holland, Austria, Germany and Canada after just one week after release. In 2006, his band, Bon Jovi became the first rock band to have a number one hit on the country charts.
Bon Jovi are set to bring their "Because We Can" world tour to Australia in December 2013. According to Channel 7′s Sunday Night program, the band will play in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. In this spectacular new show fans will be treated to an unforgettable night of Bon Jovi’s huge arsenal of hits, as well as new tracks from the band’s latest album WHAT ABOUT NOW which debuted at # 1 on the Australian charts.
Jon Bon Jovi is the American Dream: A poor kid from Jersey who worked as a janitor in a recording studio and worked his way up to self-made multi-millionaire.
