Javier Colon's blog

This soulful pop singer's father worked at a radio station, immersing his son in music from an early age; by 13, Javier was writing his own songs. His young talent led to touring gigs and even a contract with Capitol Records, but his career never really took off. Now, the devoted husband and father of two is taking a final shot at pursing his musical dreams before leaving music behind to support his family.

Missing the Fam

By Javier Colon on April 29, 2011 8:29 AM
Really sad to see my wife and girls leave. I know that they have to get back to their normal routine at home but being without them is always hard for all of us. I've traveled a lot in my career but since we had kids I've purposely tried to be home as much as possible so I can spend time with them. The problem is, in our line of work, the only way you make money is when you are away from home doing shows.

My family is my life. I love music and I have all my life, but nothing compares to the love I feel for my wife and kids. None of this would be possible without them. Next couple weeks will be tough. I will be talking to them a lot on the phone I'm sure and I'm already looking forward to my Skype conversations with the kids.
