Jon Bon Jovi
While today Jon Bon Jovi is one of the hottest names in American music, he started out like the rest of us, and his first job was sweeping floors. You don’t become a star in a day, and so Jon engaged with music from a young age. In fact, he would regularly skip school to practice with his band. By the time he was sixteen, his band had accumulated local popularity, and the group would perform in clubs around New Jersey.
Although he already had performances, the pay wasn’t as high as he would’ve liked, and so to make some money, Jon worked as a paperboy, selling newspapers. That was only one of his jobs, however, as the aspiring singer/songwriter also made money by making Christmas decorations, and he had another job that was somewhat closer to the world of music – he was sweeping floors at his cousin Tony’s recording studio.
