Jon Germain hopes to fly on new wing

Ghanaian pop singer Jon Germain insists he will thrive in his new found love after his debut album ‘Enigma’ earned massive reviews at the international stage.

The radio and television host surprised many Ghanaians by releasing an album which has rocked many locals and earned many nominations including the Channel best video and new artiste of the year.

Even though his music career might come as a surprise to most people Jon emphasises the fact that presenting was just an accident and has served as a means to a much craved for end.

“Those of my friends like Okyeame Quame and co who knew me back in 1991 knew I could sing because they saw me coming from the studio all the time” Germain told Yaw Sakyi on The Rundown show

“I have always had the love for music but the time was not right for me. But I believe the time is ripe. The idea was to bring out a single track but my friends who heard the song were impressed and said I could turn it into an album”

“If you go to Europe, it’s rising up rapidly and surely it will catch up with everybody. Some even think I sing better than Joe but hey, you can’t really fault them. That’s how they think and feel”

His formative years as an artiste were shaped by listening to a lot of Pop, Rock and Rnb music which were his father’s favourite genre. He started writing songs since he was 12 years old and has written songs for MGKK and Van Greene.

Jon’s musical influences come from Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, Bruce Hornsby, Richard Marx, Peter Cetera Frankie Paul and Michael Bolton.

Germain reiterated: “My songs are all based on emotions, and songs on this album are based on past relationships, hard times, the shocking passing away of my father and the women I loved.

“My songs are meant to make you fall in love, make you believe in love and help you get through the hard times in life”
