My name is Jon Robert Gibson, born in San Francisco, California, January 3, 1962. I'm an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumental musician and record producer. Originally I was known as a blue-eyed soul singer on a major label, but, I switched from secular music to contemporary Christian music in the late-1980s. I scored a number of hit singles, like "Jesus Loves Ya", which spent a then-record 11 weeks at No. 1 on the CCM charts in 1991. Other songs such as "Love Come Down" in, "Friend in You" in "88, and "God Loves a Broken Heart" in '86 also did very well.
All together, I've had at least 22 chart-topping CCM hits with 9 No. 1 songs in all. I've recorded with Bill Wolfer (the keyboardist for the Jacksons), Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, MC Hammer, MC Peace, Crystal Lewis, Soup the Chemist, Avery Stafford, John P. Kee and others like Nate Watts, and Joe Satriani. I also performed for Prince, collaborating with Justin Timberlake, Herbie Hancock, Maroon 5 and Matthew McConaug
