The boys were born and grew up overseas. David was born in Bangladesh,
John-Paul and
Jonathan in Belgium.
They began singing for charitable events in Europe at the ages of 3 and
4. Their father, Steven
Greenberg musician-songwriter, worked with Mother Theresa while in Calcutta
and was involved in
opening half way houses and developing other humanitarian projects on the
Indian sub-continent
for ten years. While in Belgium the family performed for homeless folks,
the elderly, children’s
homes, hospitals and correctional institutions. Mr. Greenberg's talented
young sons shared their
love for music, as a way of comfort to others during this time. Steven
Greenberg then began to
write the music and lyrics for the original numbers Bon Voyager now performs.
The brothers were
invited to perform on live Belgium television in 1996.
Arriving in the United States, the spring of 1998, they were invited to
perform at the Special
Olympics in Boston. That summer they finished recording their first CD
of original numbers entitled
"World of Dreams". They are now based on Cape Cod.
The CD includes six original songs. Featured among them are; "Princes of
Love" a song written
following the funeral of Princess Diana, which has touched the hearts of
many in both the United
States and England, and the song "Bangladesh", which was written as a heartcry
for the people of
Bangladesh, where the family lived for five years.
Since their arrival in the United States, Bon Voyager have toured throughout
New England and
have generated a growing following of fans. They have also been featured
in several newspaper
articles, done several radio interviews and performed on various cable
TV shows.
A portion of the proceeds of the sale of their CD’s is donated to charitable
causes, among them
"Bridge Over Troubled Waters" an organization based in Boston helping homeless
teenagers.
