Born in 1960, raised in Milford ,Texas Early Life : Jobear is the eldest in a family of seven. His parents knew he had an extraordinary voice at an early age. On long family trips from Colorado to Texas , Jobear would sing songs by Al Green , Stevie Wonder , Marvin Gaye and Bobby Womack the whole trip and sound just like the artist he was emulating . Much to his parents delight , Jobear began to enter numerous school and youth center talent shows where he won 1st place in most of them. Later at the age of 17 he began writing his own songs and began to do lot’s of vocal work in studio sessions . Great opportunity : Jobear’s big opportunity came when he met mega producer’s Gerard Hairston , Jimmy Miller and Lawrence Welton at a studio session in Dallas , Texas , when after hearing his voice work , he was asked to record a radio jingle for Greyhound Buslines and Coca Cola. Their working friendship grew from there, and in 1991 Jobear helped pen and recorded the single “ Hold Out ” which was released in Europe and landed a spot in the top ten. Although he was never introduced or released in the states , he is convinced that the time is now!!! Currently : Jobear currently lives in the Dallas area and continues to improve and reach higher levels in his vocal craft. On Jobear’s recent release “ All Because Of You “ , he teams up with hot producers Larry Williams , popular keyboardist Bobby Sparks III and guitarist George Wooten to create a project that is “ hot and modern but yet still has that good ole 70’s r&b soulful crooning style that this artist can bring to a track. The goal was “ To give grown folks music that they can relate to ” . Love and relationships is the overall concept and it is expressed all through this CD. Once you put it in you won’t want to take it out!!!ENJOY !!!!
