From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jonathan Arthur "Chico" DeBarge (born June 23, 1966 in Grand Rapids, Michigan) is an African-American R&B singer and a younger brother of the members of the Motown family act DeBarge.

He began a musical career of his own with Motown in the mid-1980s, but was imprisoned for drug charges and served time in prison. After his release in the mid-1990s, DeBarge returned to Motown to continue his musical career.

He later moved to Koch Records, where he released his last LP, 2003's Free. DeBarge also had one song on the recent Beauty Shop movie soundtrack, courtesy of Alove Entertainment, the label which he owns.
