Before he was a household name, Jon Bon Jovi cut his teeth at the Power Station, the legendary recording studio built by his father’s cousin, and a second home to Nile Rodgers during the height of his career. While Nile produced unforgettable records with David Bowie, Diana Ross, and Madonna within those walls, Jon ran errands, made deliveries and most importantly, made coffee for some of the greatest icons of music - until he became one himself. He recorded his first hit single “Runaway” at the Power Station, quickly formed his band and became one of the most iconic artists in history. Not all artists come from such humble beginnings, but that’s what makes Jon Bon Jovi the man that he is - full of charisma and gratitude for the fans that adore him and the New Jersey backdrop that raised him. Watching Jon reminisce with Nile about the early days of The Power Station and everything that’s happened since, makes this episode truly special.
