Allen Jovonn Armstrong
Profile:
True lovers of Dance music have been familiar with the name JoVonn for some time now. He has excelled in every role he has played in the Dance music industry for over a decade. These roles have included singer, song writer, musician and record label owner. In 1991, the Dance scene was rocked by "Turn and Runaway" on Warner Bros. Records, which was JoVonn's second release. This classic hit, achieved the honor of charting at number 10 on Billboard. JoVonn's discography incudes such hits as "Love So Special" by Ceybil Jeffries, on which he also sang background vocals; "Step Into My Life" by Valerie Johnson; "Flutes", "Be Free" and countless others. In addition to being an internationally renowned producer and club DJ, JoVonn founded his first Dance label, Goldtone Records, in the early 1990's. His latest record label ventures, Next Moov Records and Next Moov Traxx, are dedicated to bringing back the deep, soulful sounds of the Underground.
To JoVonn, Dance music is more than just another genre. It is a feeling, an emotion, a passion. He compares the feelings it conveys to that of Gospel saying, "it's spiritual". His mission is to capture that deep, soulful Underground sound of the past, take it to another level and into the new millennium.

Reviews & Discussion

Review by Jun 14, 2001 (edited over 10 years ago)
Jovonn is a deep figure of post paradise garage era.
He has an abstract and quite straightforward approch when he build songs which can lead when inspired to perfection in that deep house late night underground feeling.
Dirty meets fragile, rough meets elaborate .
His instrumentals are really intersting for the people who wants to mix deep house without cheesy vocals ...
In the hyper coded world of dance music where every style often suffer of a lack of drive and personality, he stands unique.
