Bo travelled all the way from Germany to see JB perform live at Hype in Edward Street, Cape Town and presented him with a record deal in the last quarter of 2009. Since then numerous singles and promos have been released and JB has been burning the charts in Europe and the US alike.
JB will be releasing his debut album Electro Therapy this August in Miami, Florida. The album will be available on iTunes worldwide from 1 August 2010 and hard copies will be available in selected music stores.
A world tour has been set out to promote the album and JB will be performing in over 200 cities over the next two years including Hong Kong, China, Australia, Japan, Florida, Buenos Aeries, Brazil, Ireland, Moscow and Ibiza.
"I am really looking forward to the World tour as this is what I have always wanted - to play my music to the world," says JB.
He recently unveiled his unreleased single 'Dream Catcher' on Good Hope FM in May, with a live performance and interview. "I was pretty much overwhelmed by the huge response to the single; people delivered and replied with great comments and I have decided to release 'Dream Catcher' on the second edition of the album Electro Therapy and continue it through onto my second album which is yet to be released," says JB.
JB will be franchising Crownn Records in South Africa with offices set to open in late July. The division will have the prospects of the mother label - to seek out real talent that never gets seen, expose them and give them the opportunity to live out their dreams.

As if signing an international record deal wasn't enough, JB has also launched his clothing label, Last Days Wear - currently only available in the US.
"The label itself is about letting the truth be known - the voice is more powerful then a gun. Or my favourite the 'Barcode' print that we have on one of our shirts - the barcode basically portrays how we as humans normally and very easily fall into the norm of what society tells us, our barcode means that you should be unique and set your own standard," explains JB.
The Last Days clothing label was made possible through Bofi Clothing and will be available in SA soon. Distributors interested in Last Days clothing should contact JB on mobile +27 (0) 78 100 7189.
