AVENTURA – Singer/songwriter K’Jon will be making a special appearance performing his hit single “On The Ocean” and signing autographs for customers at Macy’s Fashion Store at Aventura, First Floor 19535 Biscayne Boulevard on Friday, March 19, at 7pm, as an official Jazz In The Gardens pre-festival event.
CBS 4’s Jim Berry, who is an avid Chicago Style Stepper, will host the event.
The first 200 customers to make a purchase of $50 or more at Macy’s Fashion Store at Aventura Mall on the day of the event will receive a copy of K’Jon’s CD, and poster, which he’ll autograph.
Three lucky couples will be chosen on-site to participate in a Chicago Style Steppin’ contest. They’ll compete for a chance to win a pair of Jazz in the Gardens tickets and a Macy’s gift card.
K’Jon, knows how to set the scene! He has recently released his first full-length major label debut, I Get Around, a superb collection with nods to both his contemporaries, including KEM and Robin Thicke, and his predecessors, like fellow Detroiter, Marvin Gaye. According to Billboard, the Detroit native’s hit 2009 single, “On The Ocean”, has spent a record 72 weeks on the R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart, surpassing Usher’s record.

K’Jon has been singing since he was eight years old- but what started out as a hobby has morphed into an incredible career. In 2004, his song, “Miami” was featured on the soundtrack for 2Fast2Furious. He has opened for everyone from Ludacris and Ne-Yo to Raheem DeVaughn.
