Summary
Music producer Jun Mhoon was born on June 10, 1954 in Chicago, Illinois. In 1968, at the age of twelve, Mhoon became the first drummer to begin touring with the Staple Singers. Over the next ten years, Mhoon would tour and perform with many other notable artists, including the Count Basie Orchestra, and Paul Simon. He decided to move into producing, and by the 1980s, had become the vice president of A&M Records. In 1987, Mhoon founded "I AM Records", an independent label catering to jazz, gospel and spoken word albums, among other genres. Mhoon forged ahead in the digital world with contracts with Apple's iTunes and RealNetworks, among other digital music providers. He also served as an adjunct professor at Harold Washington College and Columbia College in Chicago.
