"THE QUALITY OF MERCY IS NOT STRAIN'D. IT DROPPETH AS THE GENTLE RAIN FROM HEAVEN UPON THE PLACE BENEATH. IT IS TWICE BLESSED. IT BLESSETH HIM THAT GIVES AND HIM THAT TAKES. THE QUALITY OF MERCY IS NOT STRAIN'D." - WILLIAM SHAKESPEAREwww.myspace.com/jonmbond3---JON BOND---Power...Sensual...Real...Passionate...these are words used by Jon's many fans to describe this multi-talented musician and performing artist. His regeneration of older music and earlier styles is defined by the dynamic sounds and NEW WORLD melodies of the future, manifested in the present. A native of California, Jon Magnys Bond's early years were shaped by his caucasian English mother and African American father in Los Angeles, Vancouver, Washington, London and Brighton Beach, England. Jon was heralded as a child prodigy when at the age of four, he played Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" on the piano by ear. As he reached the fifth grade, Jon was regularly performing in recitals and starring in school plays as well as writing lengthy reports on Rachmaninoff, Bach, Mozart, Chopin and of course his favorite, Beethoven. He very much identified with the complex and fiery nature of all these great composers. Influenced at an early age by such artists as ELTON JOHN, Chicago, CHIC, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, QUEEN, Freddie Mercury, The Beatles, Johnny Mathis, Eric Clapton, ABBA, Prince, Mariah Carey, THE BEE GEES, Whitney Houston, etc., this artist, composer, arranger, singer, dancer, songwriter, poet and pianist builds his music on a full complement of orchestral support with a heavy leaning on strings. In much of Jon's latest music, the strings represent both agony (the past) and salvation (the future), with the ability to ultimately mend and heal the human spirit. Above all, the piano is Jon's major instrument upon which he composes every part and variation before transferring the music to respective instruments. His music is bigger-than-life, electrifying and fueled by an explosive vocal power conveying strong emotion! Much of it is perfect Pop and movie-score material. Not only does his music transport the soul but also his lyrics transform the mind with conviction and truth."THE MUSIC IN MY HEART I BORE- LONG AFTER IT WAS HEARD NO MORE." - WILLIAM WORDSWORTH
