Jon Bon Jovi, born John Francis Bongiovi Jr. in Sayreville in 1962, founded Bon Jovi in 1983 and has fronted it ever since. In 1990 he stepped out on his own with "Blaze of Glory", a dusty, big-sky rocker that swaps the band's arena sheen for something leaner and lonelier, and it earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song in 1991.
He is a singer who can also handle guitar, piano and harmonica, and a songwriter good enough for the Songwriters Hall of Fame, which inducted him in 2009. The band has made 16 studio albums; on his own he has made two. His range runs from hard-charging heavy metal and glam through soft rock to country, and the heartland streak in "Blaze of Glory" showed just how far he could stretch.
The '90s also opened a second career on screen, with roles in films such as Moonlight and Valentino, The Leading Man, Homegrown, Pay It Forward and U-571 and turns on Ally McBeal, Sex and the City, The West Wing and 30 Rock. He even helped found an Arena Football League team, the Philadelphia Soul.
