He said in The Big Issue’s Letter To My Younger Self, What I got from my parents was the ability to make the dream reality.
They always instilled that confidence in their kids, which, in retrospect, I realize was so incredibly valuable. Because even if you truly weren’t any good at your craft, if you believed you were, you could work on it.”

He formed a blues band called Atlantic City Expressway with David Bryan, a keyboardist while in high school.

Bovi released his first single “Runaway” at the age of 18. It paved the road to stardom for him.

“There was no plan B for me, ever. I can remember walking the two-mile walk to school with the guy who became my first band’s bass player.
And I would just conspire as to how I was going to get a band together, how I was going to play in bars and eventually make it,” Bon Jovi said. “Which to me at that time just meant keep on playing in a bar – the measurements of success change throughout your life.”

In 1983, Bovi and his team got the attention of record executive Derek Shulman and their first album came in 1984 which was a huge success.

Bon Jovi recalled, “What I got from my parents was the ability to make the dream reality. They always instilled that confidence in their kids, which, in retrospect, I realize was so incredibly valuable. Because even if you truly weren’t any good at your craft, if you believed you were, you could work on it.”
