在新一代流行艺人中，Jon B是R&B歌手中与众不同的一个白人歌手。同Backstreet Boys一样，Jon B的歌曲也具有年轻一代的节奏和反复的曲式，但他的作品更保持了旋律的流畅、优美，使歌迷们关注的焦点重新回到音乐本身。1995年，Jon B推出首张个人专辑《Bonafide》，受到了广泛的好评,销量创下白金。1997年推出的第二张专辑《Cool Relax》被认为是继Kenny Lattimore和Babyface在1996年独占R&B榜单后唯一一张真正的R&B专辑。作为一位集词曲作者、制作人、歌手、演奏者于一身的音乐人，Jon B当之无愧地成为继Babyface、R Kelly之后的又一位创作型歌手。《Please You Like》是Jon B的全新大碟。长达74分钟的专辑给人一种清新、自然的感受，歌曲会将你带入一种舒适的松弛状态，你所能注意到的，只是几位在不同歌曲中出现的合唱艺人。Nas在“Finer Thing”中反复吟唱着“If I Ruled the World”的旋律。Cuban Link在“All I Want Is You”中的演唱使人想起他那首有些怪异的“Ain’t a Player”。有些暴躁的“Layaway”，在R&B节奏中融合了西印度群岛的卡利普索（Calypso）小调。此外，专辑中的“Inside”、“Don’t Talk”、“Soft & Sweet”等也是R&B歌曲中的佳作Songwriter, producer, vocalist, and instrumentalist Jon B. brings a distinctive focus on smooth melodies to contemporary R&B. Proficient on keyboards, guitar, bass, and drums, he wrote and produced songs for such rap music legends as Toni Braxton, After 7, and Color Me Badd. Born in Rhode Island and raised in California, Jon B. was the son of a professor of music and a concert pianist.

His second album, 1997's Cool Relax, continued the emphasis on classic hip-hop soul. He continued entertaining audiences, with several concert tours throughout the world. Aside from personal performances, he writes for popular artists including Toni Braxton and the rap group Az Yet. In the new millennium, Jon B. returned to form for a third record.
