Jon E. Henderson Jr.
Jon Elliott Henderson Jr. was born in Pittsburgh, PA. His musical influences range from artists like Stevie Wonder, Pat Metheny, Led Zeppelin to Mercy Me, Jeremy Camp, and Casting Crowns. Jon%u2019s many daring pursuits over his life time. Since early childhood, Jon has loved the game of football. He started playing at the age of nine. By the age of twenty-one, Jon had lettered at Glassboro State College as a freshman. One year later, with the help of Jon sr., Jon tried out for The B. C. Lions (C.F.L.) and made the teams inactive reserve team. Following that, Jon was drafted to the N.F.L. sponsored Professional Spring football league to play wide receiver. Unfortunately, the league folded due to a failed television contract with TNT. A year after Jon graduated from The Colorado Institute of Art at The School of Culinary Arts earning several culinary certifications and an associate%u2019s degree. While in culinary school, Jon embarked on a new adventure. He co-founded and wrote most of the music for a Denver band called the Moodswingers. The band would find them organizing several charity events. At one of the events (The Concert for UNICEF) The Moodswingers were honored to perform the son %u201CSunshine by Cream%u201D with cream%u2019s legendary drummer, Ginger Baker. The band also opened for Molly Hatchet, performed at Hollywood, CA%u2019s Whiskey a Go Go and The Roxy. Unfortunately, as bands often do, The Moodswingers split up. Jon has since then recorded a cd in which he did all of the work himself in his in home studio. In 2003 Jon decided to play and record exclusively for the Lord Jesus Christ. He started a small indie label called Jesus Loves Entertainment. Under this label, Jon records and produces his own material as well as other Christian artists. Jon started this company for a couple of reasons. One, he is an independent musician, writer producer ..., thus, professionally, it was better to create a label. The other' is that Jon feels that there is not much left for 'God honoring entertainment' these days. In many Christian communities, being entertained is considered 'catering to the flesh, therefore too much fun! The goal at Jesus Loves Entertainment is to use the talents and gifts God has given us in ways which honor Him. We started with music and hope to expand to acting, comedy, and whatever else God has for us! Look for us in the future. We'll be making a joyful noise to the Lord! In Jon%u2019s own words: %u201CMusic is a God given gift to us all. Like all of His gifts, He just wants us to recognize the One who gives. Without that, we will surely get lost. From the professionals to the shower vocalist and air guitarist, music has its way of reaching us, because it is a gift to us. Focus on The One who gives, and watch how the music touches you like never before. His name is Jesus, and He is waiting for you to know Him. Pray to Him. Confess that you are sinner and in need of forgiveness. Give your heart to Him and seek after Him always. The sinning might not change over night, and some sins follow us to our graves. But in the moment you asked Jesus Christ into your heart all is forgiven. You are a new creation in Christ Jesus! Hallelujah (Praise God).
