Jon Pierce

A native of the South Side of Chicago, Jon Pierce packs quite a bit of baritone into his slim 5'10 frame. At just the impressionable age of 11, he realized his deep love and sheer passion for music having been exposed early on to such musical genius as Stevie Wonder and Maze featuring Frankie Beverly. At age 12, Jon remembers that his mother had given him a walkman along with a Luther Vandross cassette tape that he would study for hours, getting lost in the melodies of the rifts and vocalizing the intricate harmonies. It is the soulfulness of these and many other influences that helped shape Jon Pierce's personal full-energy sound, which is filled with a hint of jazz, hypnotic house rhythms, gospel and his natural fit R&B

A professional singer since age 15, Jon Pierce has been a consistent performer with both stage and vocal projects ever since. Fueled by his drive to, "take a set of songs and turn them into memorable moments for the audience." Jon engages his unique style and creativity to deliver lasting impressions that have not only made him a permanent fixture in Chicago's diverse soul and theatre scenes, but they have catapulted him globally with tours and performances throughout Germany and the UK.
