Jon B. - Early Show

Jon B., Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter and producer, returns with the smooth RnB that defined his 90s breakthrough. From Bonafide to the platinum Cool Relax, he’s honed a sound that blends classic soul textures with clean, contemporary production. On stage, his set spans the catalogue, revisiting essentials and deep cuts with fresh arrangements that highlight his vocal subtlety and careful songwriting. The mood leans intimate and slow-burning, favouring mid-tempo grooves, close harmonies and fluid keys over flash.

Raised in California, Jon B. first wrote for others before stepping forward under the wing of Babyface. He’s since added albums like Pleasures U Like, Stronger Everyday, Helpless Romantic and Comfortable Swagg, and collaborated with artists from 2Pac to Donell Jones. Live, that path comes together in a focused flow that nods to 90s RnB while staying very much in the present.

Jon B. plays on 15 July 2026 at Jazz Cafe, 5 Parkway, London NW1 7PG, United Kingdom.
