Gino grew up in a musically oriented family. At a young age, he wanted to be a drummer after watching Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa, and while at high school, he played drums as part of a pop band. At the age of 17 in 1969, he was signed to RCA Records under the name Vann Elli. He also attended McGill University to study music theory.
Vannelli moved to Los Angeles to pursue his music career and out of desperation waited outside the parking lot of A&M Studios for a possible record deal. He eventually ran into Herb Alpert, and had to evade security guards to give him a demo tape. Herb then decided to sign Vannelli to the label, leading to his first album called “Crazy Life” which was released in 1973. His popularity started to grow, and he became one of the first Caucasians to appear in the dance show “Soul Train”. The following year, he toured in support of Stevie Wonder.
In 1976, Gino released the album “Gist of the Gemini” and followed it up two years later with “Brother to Brother”, which included the Billboard charting song “I Just Wanna Stop”, which proved highly successful and propelled his net worth, plus leading him to be nominated for a Grammy Award. He also released another top 10 hit in “Living Inside Myself”. During the 1970s, he won three Juno Awards, two of which were for best male vocalist, and along with his brother and musical partner Joe Vannelli, also got a Juno Award for Best Production in 1979.
He continued to release successful singles in the 1980s, but did not tour during this period. In the 1990s, Gino then shifted from jazz pop to acoustic jazz music, releasing the albums “Yonder Tree” and “Slow Love”, and the song “Parole Per Mio Padre (A Word to My Father)” which caught the attention of Pope John Paul II, leading him to perform it at the Vatican. This led him to produce a disc with BMG Records which is considered one of his strongest musical works, creating songs in French, Spanish, Italian, and English.
In 2008, Vannelli became part of the spotlight again through the Boston Celtics team of the National Basketball Association (NBA). During that season, each blowout home victory would feature a disco dancer wearing a Gino Vannelli T-shirt which was called “Gino Time”. One of Vannelli’s latest projects is the compilation “Live in LA” which marks the first collaboration of the Vannelli brothers after many years.
For his personal life, it is known that Gino has been married to Patricia since the 1980s and they have a son. The family resides in Oregon.

As a boy JC Chasez was extremely shy, but he was able to fight with his modesty and joined the Mickey Mouse Club.
The first real success came for Chasez after the formatIon of a band called ‘N Sync which has become extremely popular in the USA and Europe from 2000. Although ‘N Sync broke up in 2002, the have sold more that 9.9 million copies of their album “No Strings Attached”. This was one of the biggest investments in Joshua’s net worth, but the band have licensed their likenesses and released microphones, lip balm, marionettes, books, key chains, cloths and video games with their emblem. The band has also been dealing with McDonalds, Chilli’s Grill & Bar. In 2009 N’Sync was even immortalized in wax In New York’s Madame Tussaunds museum and can be seen there until today.

Neal Schon Net Worth
Neal George Joseph Schon was born on 27th February 1954 at Tinker AFB (Air Force Base), Oklahoma USA, of Italian and German descent. Neal Schon is a rock guitarist, songwriter and vocalist, best known for being an important member of several hugely popular bands, namely Santana, Bad English and Journey.
So just how rich is Neal Schon? Neal’s net worth has been calculated to be over $30 million, amassed during his successful career of more than 40 years in the music industry.
Neal Schon Net Worth $30 Million
Neal Schon was lucky to be born into a musical family – his father Mathew Schon was a famous musician and mother Barbara Schon sang in a band. So Schon picked his first guitar at the age of five years, and starting at early age is usually a way to success. His first career steps started at the age of 15 with the band Santana, in preference to joining Eric Clapton in the band Derek and the Dominos, and debuting with some vocals on Santana’s album Santana III. Being such a great musician at such young age with the possibility to choose between two iconic bands, he went on and started making his money. He also played for Azteca but very briefly.
In 1973 Neal Schon formed his now legendary band Journey. He subsequently released five solo albums, and fourteen studio albums with the band. This must be the main flow into his net worth. Importantly, he is the only band member who has not changed through the years. He has taken part in every tour of the band, and sang on all their albums, so no doubt this longevity with Journey has increased the overall amount of Neal Schon’s net worth as well. Apart from this, he has also collaborated with famous musicians such as keyboardist Jan Hammer, Sammy Hagar and Paul Rodgers on short-term projects.
Neal Schon is as great a vocalist, as he is a guitar virtuoso. Two talents double the money earned, does it not? Let’s talk about his musical influences, of whom there were plenty. He has said that he was highly influenced by the 1960’s, musicians from that era such as Gladys Knight and Aretha Franklin. Then he put some blues to the mix, namely B.B. King and added some guitar-based influences, including of course Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton as well as Wes Montgomery. This is probably Neal Schon’s key to fame – adding the best ingredients from different musical eras.
Schon was always proud of his guitars. He started with acoustic Stella guitar followed by Gibson ES-335. At present he became interested in Xotic guitars. Schon was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in August 2013, which made him, if possible, even more famous. This is considered to be an accomplishment of a lifetime for any musician.
In his not-so-private personal life, Neal Schon has married five times, first to Tena Austin(1976-86), then Beth Buckley(1987-92), Dina Gioeli(1993-99), and Amber Kozan(2001-08). In 2013 he married Michaele Salahi. He has five children.
