Jon
Secada became one of the biggest adult contemporary artist of the
'90s. His smooth mix of R&B, pop, and Latin music appeals to a
variety of different audiences. What separates him from the overly slick
sound of most adult contemporary artists are his considerable
songwriting skills he is able to write sweet, affecting ballads
that rarely seem contrived.
Jon
Secada was born Juan Secada in Havana, Cuba, where he lived with his
family. The family applied to leave Cuba legally when Jon was 9 years
old, but as a punishment his father was sent to a work camp for a year
and a half. The family finally left Cuba in 1971 and opened a coffee
shop in Miami Beach. Jon studied hard at school and quickly learned
English. While he was in the 11th grade, his vocal talent began to show
itself. When Jon sang his way through the part of a young Scrooge in a
musical version of "A Christmas Carol," even his friend,
Miguel Morejon, now a songwriter, was surprised at Jon's talent.
Jon went on to earn a Masters Degree in Jazz Vocal
Performance from the University of Miami, after which he took a teaching
job at the Miami Community College. Emilio Estefan discovered Jon's
talent after hearing one of Jon's demo tapes. Soon Jon was writing and
performing as a backup singer for Gloria Estefan and other performers.
Jon co-wrote several songs on Gloria's "Into
The Light" album, including "Coming Out Of The Dark"
and performed in her "Into The Light World Tour."
Jon has become a big star in his own right with album
sales well in excess of 6 million worldwide. His album "Otro
Dia Mas Sin Verte" achieved number one status in Billboard's
Latin Album chart and gained a Grammy award for "Best Latin Pop
Album" in 1992. His album "Amor" (1995) also won a Grammy
award for "Latin Pop Performance" in 1996.
A versatile performer, he performed on Broadway during
1995 as Danny Zuko in
Tommy Tune's
production of "Grease."
