On Feb. 5 he promoted his first single, “Never Giving Up,” and reached number-one Most Added Single on R&R & Smooth Jazz.com (national charts). “Never Giving Up” was number-one single with most spin increase and reached in the top 10 on the National Jazz Billboard Charts. It also was featured on Smooth Jazz Network, based out of LA California.
In 2011 the release of his CD, “Light,” brought national acclaim on Smooth Jazz Radio and reached number nine on the national Billboard Jazz Charts.
In 2007 Bond moved to number 10 on the R&R indicators and became endorsed with Conn and Selmer.
