I'm a singer/songwriter and original recording artist with over 22 top ten and #1 radio hits. My brand is unique, contemporary, Christian-based, uplifting, and celebratory. I’ve recorded and performed with Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, MC Hammer, and Joe Satriani. As a solo artist or with a full band, I mix my original songs with popular songs by other artists within my style and carefully select songs to match the event. This style has made me popular with corporate and private events worldwide. If you enjoy excellent musicianship, excellent vocals, and your spirit lifted, then consider hiring me for your event.

I'm a pro-level vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, band leader and arranger.
SOLO GIGS, I sing to vocals over tracks and/or can accompany myself on guitar or piano, unplugged or with tracks.
MINI-BAND GIGS, I do the same as I do for SOLO gigs, while adding 1 or 2 other musicians. We will use a pro sequencer for tracks.
BAND GIGS, I forfeit the sequencer and tracks for a singing, 4-5 piece rhythm section that will include a bassist, drummer, guitarist and keyboardist.
For four decades, Jon Gibson has been one of the best kept secrets in popular music - but don't tell that to his legion of fans. Tough to describe and tougher to classify, Gibson's a white guy who sounds like Stevie Wonder, a sweet balladeer who pioneered Christian rap, and a singer who reeks attitude in his mission of justice and ministry. He's recorded with Stevie Wonder, M.C. Hammer and Michael Jackson. He was a dominant force on the CCM charts for over a decade with 22 Top 5 Hits and 9 no.1 songs that has gained him a fiercely loyal following and a catalog of really wonderful music. If you haven't heard his stuff, seek it out. Chris Rizik - (link hidden)
I am not so much worried about lighting, that is a client preference. However, adequate lighting in the staging area must be present to operate the on-stage gear and abilty to read music charts. For the most part, my sound is controlled from the stage and any sequences and or music tracks will be operated from our own computer. We provide all of the on-stage equipment such as instruments, amps, cables, mics, mic stands, music stands, etc. However, the client must provide a professional PA system that is standard for small and medium venues.
