Park started developing interest in breakdancing and hip-hop music at a young age. He attended Edmonds Woodway High School, where he spent most of his free time practicing dance. Eventually, he started learning raps and would become one of the first members of Art of Movement (AOM). After his mother noticed his passion for dance, she suggested that Jay audition at JYP Entertainment. In 2005, he went to Korea to learn the language and improve his skills, eventually completing his education at Dankook University.
Park first appeared in a documentary-style reality show entitled “Hot Blood Men”. He finished in the top spot, and became the leader of the group 2PM. In September 2008 they released their first song “10 Out of 10”, and it led to the mini-album “Hottest Time of the Day”. He also worked with Yeeun from the Wonder Girls on the original soundtrack of the television show “Conspiracy in the Court”. Jay would continue making stage performances with the band and would find himself as a regular cast member of several programs including “Star King” and “Nodaji”. His net worth ws now well established.
In 2009, Korean media discovered Park’s old MySpace account which had made negative comments about the country. This sparked an outrage and many fans demanded that he step down from the group. Despite JYP Entertainment defending him, he stepped down and decided to go back to the United States; 2PM would continue with the remaining six members, and they released an album entitled “1:59PM” as a tribute to Park, hoping that he would return to the group someday.
Eventually South Korea changed their perspective on Jay, especially since the comments on his MySpace account were heavily mistranslated. He was being set-up to return to 2PM, but JYP suddenly terminated his contract, sparking a boycott on 2PM products. Protests for his return took place, and he would then start his own YouTube channel entitled jayparkaom. His first upload went viral and reached over two million views within 24 hours, and the song would reach the top of various music sites. He would continue to release covers and songs that found success in Korea, and also make regular appearances with Art of Movement, mostly performing on stage. His popularity and net worth continued to increase, as he was also getting endorsements from several companies.
During the filming of the movie “Hype Nation”, he returned to South Korea and drew a very large crowd. He then signed with SidusHQ and started to work on albums, collaborations and films, winning numerous awards leading to the release of the mini-album “Take a Deeper Look”. His albums started to chart internationally to, and Jay would soon travel to the United States to perform again. He also started to compose songs for other artists, working with U-KISS, Tiny-G, and Younha. He then released his first full-length album entitled “New Breed”, and became featured in magazines including Men’s Health Korea. After numerous projects, he was chosen as a dance master for the television show “Dancing 9” which he would win, and afterwards released his second full-length album “Evolution”.
For his personal life, it is known that Jay struggled during his first few years in Korea and almost decided to quit his pursuit of an entertainment career. There is no published information on his private life.

As a boy JC Chasez was extremely shy, but he was able to fight with his modesty and joined the Mickey Mouse Club.

Although ‘N Sync broke up in 2002, the have sold more that 9.9 million copies of their album “No Strings Attached”.

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.
