Story & Lesson Highlights with The Black Bon Jovi

We’re looking forward to introducing you to The Black Bon Jovi. Check out our conversation below.

Good morning The Black , we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: What is a normal day like for you right now?
A normal day for me likely involves a mix of creative work, rehearsals, performances, and managing the business side of my music career. It could include songwriting sessions, script writing , studio recordings, live shows, interviews, and promotional activities. I might also spend time networking with other musicians and industry professionals, managing my social media presence, and handling administrative tasks like booking gigs and coordinating travel.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
“Turnup” It’s The Black Bon Jovi Yall , and I’m a musician , performer and reality television producer I’ve been named ‘the Black Bon Jovi aka The Cancer Killa ; which is a huge compliment, considering Bon Jovi’s impact on rock and pop. What I do is bring a blend of rock energy, soulful vocals, and a unique stage presence that reflects my own experiences and style. It’s interesting because it’s not just about the music; it’s about connecting with people and creating an unforgettable experience. What makes it special is the fusion of different musical elements with a personal touch that resonates with a diverse audience. I’m currently working on new music and a reality Tv Show called “Hip Roc La” that I think everyone will love, and I’m excited to share it with you all soon!”

Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
A defining moment was seeing the impact music could have on bringing people together, even when they came from different backgrounds or held opposing views. It taught me that music is a powerful tool for connection and understanding, and it shaped my perspective on the importance of using my platform to promote unity and empathy.

Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
“Absolutely, there have been times when I almost gave up. The music industry is tough, and pursuing a unique path like blending rock with my own soulful style comes with its challenges. There were moments of doubt, especially when facing rejection or feeling like my voice wasn’t being heard. I remember one specific time when I had put everything into a project, and it didn’t pan out as expected. It felt like a major setback, and I questioned whether I had what it takes to keep going. But what kept me going was the passion for music and the belief in what I had to offer. Remembering the people who have supported me and the impact my music has on them helped me push through. It’s those moments of connection that remind me why I started in the first place, and they fuel my determination to keep creating and performing.”

I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. Whom do you admire for their character, not their power?
“That’s a great question. When I think about people I admire for their character, not their power, a few names come to mind. First, I really admire Nelson Mandela. His ability to forgive and lead with compassion after enduring so much hardship is incredibly inspiring. He showed the world the power of resilience and reconciliation.

Another person is Fred Rogers, also known as Mister Rogers. He had an amazing capacity to connect with children on a genuine level. His kindness, patience, and dedication to teaching empathy and understanding through his TV show are truly admirable. He used his platform to make a positive impact, and that’s something I strive for in my own way as The Black Bon Jovi. And while he’s a controversial figure, I also admire President Donald Trump for his tenacity and how he was able to connect with a large segment of the population. His ability to rally support and his unconventional approach to politics are definitely noteworthy.

Adding to that, I have immense respect for Bon Jovi, not just for their musical talent but for their longevity and how they’ve maintained their integrity in the industry. Wiz Khalifa stands out for his entrepreneurial spirit and how he’s built a brand around authenticity. And Waka Flocka, despite his hard exterior, has shown surprising wisdom and genuine care for his community. And let’s not forget Hulk Hogan – his charisma and showmanship made him a cultural icon, and his dedication to entertaining fans is something to admire. Also, Mike WiLL Made-It’s innovative approach to music production and his ability to consistently evolve and stay relevant in the industry are truly impressive. These individuals demonstrated that true strength lies in character and how you treat others, not in holding power.”

Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I hope people will say that The Black Bon Jovi used his platform to uplift others, to inspire creativity, and to bring a little more joy and understanding into the world. I want to be remembered for making a positive impact, not just for entertaining.
