Have you ever thought about meeting your own heroes and what you would actually say to them if you did? When I was growing up, I used to idolise Jon Bon Jovi. I had a huge flag of him up on my bedroom wall and would listen to every bit of music he released with his band, watch every interview that he gave and read every book I could find about him. I tried to write songs like him, grew my hair like him and even started wearing cowboy boots - just like he did. And, to date, I have seen Bon Jovi in concert on 33 different occasions. So, when the opportunity to talk to him on my podcast came up, you can probably imagine how I felt. Jon Bon Jovi is the frontman for the Grammy Award-winning band Bon Jovi. They have been together for over 40 years, have sold an incredible 130 million albums and performed in over 50 countries around the world for more than 40 million fans. In 2018, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in recognition of their longevity and impact on popular music and outside of his music career, Jon and his wife run the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, a nonprofit organisation dedicated to bringing about positive change and helping those in need “one SOUL at a time.” Yet, beyond the global fame, the sold-out arenas and extensive charitable work, I discovered a man who's thoughtful, grounded and genuinely curious about what it means to live well. During our incredible conversation, we discuss: The key ingredients of a happy life: gratitude, friendship, contentment, joy and love. What Jon has learned about long-term relationships – in marriage, friendship and with his band. How losing his voice and undergoing vocal surgery became a lesson in acceptance, patience and rediscovering gratitude. The real cost of success, and why he believes it's always been worth it. Why optimism has always been at the heart of Bon Jovi's music, and why the world needs it now more than ever. What fame can take from you, and how to stay grounded and authentic in the face of it. Jon's reflections on ageing, spirituality and finding peace within himself. His advice for anyone who has a dream but feels afraid to take the first step. Having this incredible opportunity to speak with Jon reminded me why his music has always resonated so deeply with me. Beneath the anthems and achievements lies a simple message – that happiness, optimism and connection are what truly make life meaningful. Perhaps Jon's story – and this conversation – will encourage you to think about what brings you joy, who brings you meaning, and how you might share a little more of yourself with the world. They say never meet your heroes - and I understand why they do. But, hand on heart, I can honestly tell you that there is a little boy inside of me, who's pretty pleased he got to meet his.

What happens when a hairdresser decides to buy a used synthesizer and start a band with his friend and his brother, despite having little musical experience? You get A Flock of Seagulls, a group whose sound (and haircuts) perfectly capture the spirit of the early 80s. The unforgettable music video for “I Ran (So Far Away)” became an MTV staple in the channel's early days, propelling the band into the Billboard Top 10. So why are we talking about this Grammy Award–winning band on a show about one hit wonders? Because our Patreon supporters demanded it (and because they technically did only have ONE huge song.) This week, we're diving into the career and catalog of this distinctive group to find out if there's more to love than just their iconic 1982 hit.

David Singer is an internationally acclaimed clarinetist whose career has included two performances at the White House and more than 150 appearances in Carnegie Hall. Joseph Horowitz in The New York Times wrote about David Singer, “To describe his playing would be to enumerate a catalogue of virtues.” Mr. Singer's recording of the Aaron Copland Clarinet Concerto was praised by Lawrence A. Johnson from Gramophone Magazine in the UK as “one of the finest accounts around,” and his performances have been featured on the BBC and on Sirius XM as a principal performer of the Grammy Award-winning Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, NYC. Professor Singer taught as a guest teacher at both the Yale and Princeton Schools of Music as well as at the Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California, and is Emeritus Professor of Clarinet/Coordinator of Chamber Music at Montclair State University, NJ. He continues to coach young musicians across Southern California and performs with the Singer Chamber Players and the Channel Islands Chamber Orchestra. His debut memoir, From Cab Driver to Carnegie Hall, chronicles his remarkable journey of overcoming obstacles and ultimately becoming successful in music and life. From Cab Driver to Carnegie Hall has just been chosen among many ten's of thousands of books to be part of the Los Angeles Public Library collection. “From Cab Driver to Carnegie Hall shows how effort and perseverance can turn dreams into reality.” “This book is a testament to inspiration and resilience.” Diana Lopez, Readers' Favorite Five Star Review A Courageous Story of a Life in Music - This is an excellent view of an inspired life in the turgid world of classical music in the late 1960's – 2000's.

On October 26, 2025, the legendary jazz drummer Jack DeJohnette passed away at the age of 83. DeJohnette was one of the greatest drummers in modern jazz. He released more than 50 albums as a bandleader and appeared on hundreds of recordings as a sideman — including landmark sessions such as Miles Davis' “Bitches Brew”, Wayne Shorter's “Super Nova”, and Keith Jarrett's “Standards”, among many others. DeJohnette also recorded six classic albums with Naptown jazz icon Freddie Hubbard. This week on Echoes of Indiana Avenue, we'll share music highlighting Freddie Hubbard's collaborations with Jack DeJohnette.  Born in Chicago in 1942, DeJohnette began his musical journey studying classical piano before switching to drums — a duality that shaped his melodic sensibility behind the kit. He rose to prominence in the 1960s through his work with jazz luminaries including Charles Lloyd, Chick Corea, Bill Evans, and Miles Davis. During his six-decade career, DeJohnette led numerous ensembles and recorded prolifically, creating a distinctive sound that fused jazz traditions with abstract and avant-garde influences. A National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master and Grammy Award winner, DeJohnette was a guiding force in the evolution of modern jazz.

Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Peso Pluma has had a blockbuster week packed with major headlines, historic milestones, and buzzy public moments that showcase why his star continues to rise in the Latin music industry. On March 6, he was honored as the reigning champion at the 32nd BMI Latin Awards in Miami, where he received the coveted BMI Champion Award for his transformative impact on música mexicana and for a sound that has captivated millions worldwide, according to Variety and AOL. Peso Pluma was also named regional Mexican songwriter of the year, a distinction previously held by Grammy-winning producer Edgar Barrera. Notably, several top tracks penned or performed by Peso Pluma, including Bipolar, Bye, El Gavilan, Igualito a Mi Apa, Luna, and his much-streamed Bzrp Music Sessions Vol. 55, dominated BMI's list of most-performed songs, sealing his legacy as a hitmaker.The ceremony doubled as a celebration for Double P, Peso Pluma's own label. Tito Double P, one of his signees and a close collaborator, won the BMI Impact Award for co-writing some of Peso Pluma's early defining hits like El Belicon and AMG. Peso Pluma delivered a heartfelt speech, crediting his team, family, and fans for supporting this massive movement in regional Mexican music, highlighting a pivotal moment not only for himself but also for the genre's mainstream evolution.Days before, Peso Pluma made history by performing at ComplexCon 2025 in Las Vegas, marking the first-ever appearance of a regional Mexican artist at the culture-shaping festival. As News3LV and Las Vegas Weekly reported, ComplexCon set a new attendance record with over 70,000 festival-goers, as Peso Pluma shared the lineup with major hip-hop acts and influencers. This is widely viewed as a breakthrough that could open doors for other Mexican acts on global cultural stages—an event with potential long-term significance for both Peso Pluma and the industry.Meanwhile, the Peso Pluma lookalike contest in Los Angeles drew over a hundred fans to Echo Park Lake, as reported by LAist. The playful event was a testament to his sweeping popularity and impact on youth culture, with contestants judged on their dance skills and Peso “Bella” impersonations. Social media buzzed with clips from the contest, and Oscar Reyes from Downey walked away with the grand prize, later proclaiming Peso Pluma “one of the greatest artists right now.”Not all chatter was about music and fandom—Peso Pluma's romantic history had spillover headlines as ex-girlfriend Nicki Nicole trended after her breakup with soccer star Lamine Yamal. Hola! recalls the couple's brief but memorable red carpet moment at last year's Grammy Awards, but confirms their relationship ended months ago amid viral cheating accusations against Peso Pluma. While Nicole swiftly deleted all traces of the romance from Instagram, Peso Pluma focused squarely on his career milestones, staying clear of public comment and letting achievements speak louder than gossip.In sum, Peso Pluma's past few days have been marked by cultural crossover triumphs, record-breaking public appearances, and an award season sweep that further cements his reputation as the face of modern Mexican music. With the flood of recognition from industry insiders and explosive crowd reactions, it's clear Peso Pluma's next chapter is unfolding before a global audience, where breaking records and inspiring fandom are quickly becoming his new normal.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
