Jackson grew up in Harlem and was raised by a single mother, along with his five siblings. During his childhood years he trained in gospel singing at the White Rock Baptist church. Here he met the Paul Laurence, singer/songwriter and producer who would later write Jackson’s songs as well as produce his records. Upon matriculating, he joined Laurence’s group called LJE, playing at local night clubs. In the early 80s, Jackson moved to California to become the lead singer of the R&B band called Mystic Merlin. In 1984 he came back to New York and began working at the Hush Productions company with Laurence, singing on demo recordings of Laurence’s compositions. He also sang as a backing vocalist for Melba Moore – in a New York club owned by Moore – and for Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King and others.
The same year Jackson signed with Capitol Records as a solo artist, releasing his album “Rock Me Tonight” in 1985. The album was highly successful, with the title track “Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake)”, which Jackson had co-written with Laurence, becoming an instant hit among worldwide audiences. Other notable tracks were “You Are My Lady”, “He’ll Never Love You (Like I Do)” and “Love Is Just A Touch Away”. The album later went platinum, and dominated the R&B charts while greatly contributing to Jackson’s net worth.
In 1986, Jackson was featured in Moore’s single “A Little Bit More”, and then released his album “Just Like The First Time”, including the hits “Have You Ever Loved Somebody”, “Tasty Love” and “Jam Tonight”. Another platinum, the album stormed the R&B charts and also added to the singer’s wealth. In 1988, Jackson released “Don’t Let Love Slip Away”, and although the album received mediocre reviews, its singles “Hey Lover”, “Crazy (For Me)” and “Nice ‘N’ Slow” became very popular. (As an aside, the same year it was reported by magazine NME that the singer had verbally attacked George Michael, due to his success as a white singer on the black music chart.)
In 1989 Jackson appeared in an episode of the NBC television series “The Golden Girls” as a lounge singer performing the Disney classic “It’s a Small World”.
Jackson’s next several albums weren’t successful as his previous ones, being criticized for their lack of distinctiveness. However, they did contain several hits, such as “Do Me Again” and “Love Me Down” from his 1990 album “Do Me Again”, and “Me and Mrs. Jones” from his 1992 album “Time for Love”, the latter featuring guest artists such as Audrey Wheeler, Will Downing and Najee. His net worth was still growing.
In 1993 Jackson ended his contract with Capitol Records and signed with RCA/BMG Records, releasing his album “Here It Is” in the following year. He then released the album “Private Party” for Scotti Brothers Records in 1995, containing the popular single “Rub Up Against You”. Jackson later signed with Orpheus, releasing his next album called “Life After 30” in 1999 and “Live in Concert” in 2000. The year 2004 saw the release of “It’s Your Move” which put the singer’s name back to the chart lists, adding to his net worth. His next three albums were the 2005 “Personal Reflections”, the 2006 “Transitions” and the 2010 “For You”. Jackson’s most recent single was the 2014 “Love & Satisfaction” for Climax Entertainment.
As a songwriter, Jackson produced of a number of hits, co-written with Laurence. These include “Trust Me” for Lilo Thomas, “Keepin’ My Lover Satisfied” for Melba Moore and “Jam Song” for Howard Johnson.
Jackson was one of the most influential figures in R&B music during the late 80s and he earned several nominations for his involvement in the genre. In 1988 he received American Music Award: Favorite Soul / Rhythm & Blues Single for his song “Nice ‘N’ Slow”.
Speaking about his personal life, there is no information known to public – he keeps his private life to himself – whether he has been married or not, although sources believe he is single at present.

Today JC Chasez is mainly known as an American boy band ‘N Sync member, occasional actor, singer, dancer and songwriter. Today he has a net worth of $30 million, But Joshua’s first steps in his future career weren’t so notable for the rest of the world. As a boy JC Chasez was extremely shy, but he was able to fight with his modesty and joined the Mickey Mouse Club.
The first real success came for Chasez after the formatIon of a band called ‘N Sync which has become extremely popular in the USA and Europe from 2000. Although ‘N Sync broke up in 2002, the have sold more that 9.9 million copies of their album “No Strings Attached”. This was one of the biggest investments in Joshua’s net worth, but the band have licensed their likenesses and released microphones, lip balm, marionettes, books, key chains, cloths and video games with their emblem. The band has also been dealing with McDonalds, Chilli’s Grill & Bar. In 2009 N’Sync was even immortalized in wax In New York’s Madame Tussaunds museum and can be seen there until today.

He was talking about ‘N Sync reunion in 2011, but until today this ambition has not come to fruition.

Neal Schon Net Worth
Neal George Joseph Schon was born on 27th February 1954 at Tinker AFB (Air Force Base), Oklahoma USA, of Italian and German descent. Neal Schon is a rock guitarist, songwriter and vocalist, best known for being an important member of several hugely popular bands, namely Santana, Bad English and Journey.
So just how rich is Neal Schon? Neal’s net worth has been calculated to be over $30 million, amassed during his successful career of more than 40 years in the music industry.
Neal Schon Net Worth $30 Million
Neal Schon was lucky to be born into a musical family – his father Mathew Schon was a famous musician and mother Barbara Schon sang in a band. So Schon picked his first guitar at the age of five years, and starting at early age is usually a way to success. His first career steps started at the age of 15 with the band Santana, in preference to joining Eric Clapton in the band Derek and the Dominos, and debuting with some vocals on Santana’s album Santana III. Being such a great musician at such young age with the possibility to choose between two iconic bands, he went on and started making his money. He also played for Azteca but very briefly.
In 1973 Neal Schon formed his now legendary band Journey. He subsequently released five solo albums, and fourteen studio albums with the band. This must be the main flow into his net worth. Importantly, he is the only band member who has not changed through the years. He has taken part in every tour of the band, and sang on all their albums, so no doubt this longevity with Journey has increased the overall amount of Neal Schon’s net worth as well. Apart from this, he has also collaborated with famous musicians such as keyboardist Jan Hammer, Sammy Hagar and Paul Rodgers on short-term projects.
Neal Schon is as great a vocalist, as he is a guitar virtuoso. Two talents double the money earned, does it not? Let’s talk about his musical influences, of whom there were plenty. He has said that he was highly influenced by the 1960’s, musicians from that era such as Gladys Knight and Aretha Franklin. Then he put some blues to the mix, namely B.B. King and added some guitar-based influences, including of course Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton as well as Wes Montgomery. This is probably Neal Schon’s key to fame – adding the best ingredients from different musical eras.
Schon was always proud of his guitars. He started with acoustic Stella guitar followed by Gibson ES-335. At present he became interested in Xotic guitars. Schon was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in August 2013, which made him, if possible, even more famous. This is considered to be an accomplishment of a lifetime for any musician.
In his not-so-private personal life, Neal Schon has married five times, first to Tena Austin(1976-86), then Beth Buckley(1987-92), Dina Gioeli(1993-99), and Amber Kozan(2001-08). In 2013 he married Michaele Salahi. He has five children.
