No one gave him a dog’s chance when he announced in 2010 that he was pursuing a career in music after doing radio and TV for over a decade.

But Jon Saint Germain, affectionately called the Supremo, kept his word when he released his maiden album, "This Is Who I Am".

Some songs on the album especially In My Head and Love Zone, were quite popular and earned him recognition in music circles. He later followed it up with his second album, Enigma which also chalked success.

However, Jon Germain has been quiet on the music scene for some time now but the good news is that, the Supremo is back into the game and poised to soar even higher on the music ladder. He has just released a new single titled, Threesome featuring EL and Dee Money.

Speaking with Showbiz, Jon narrated how his new song came about and what inspired it.

“While growing up, one of the songs I heard that inspired me was the musical genius, Marvin Gaye’s Sexual Healing. As a song writer, I always wanted to record a song about the things men wish for. This refers to a case when your girlfriend has a very pretty friend and you wish you had them both. That’s the story of my new single, Threesome”, he said.

On what went into composing Threesome produced by Edem The Wiz and mastered by Ubeatz, he said recording the song was quick since he hadn’t planned for it.

“It was by accident. I was in the studio recording a different song when the verse for Threesomestarted ringing in my head. So I told my producer that we should stop working on the old song and create this new piece. He was surprised but he agreed and within minutes, I sang it and we created Threesome”, he narrated.

When asked how the song is faring since it got released few weeks ago, he replied, “I’m very impressed with how the song has been received. First few days and already, there are so many tweets about it. Everyday, I see many tweets from radio stations in Ghana, UK playing it and giving positive reviews. It’s been awesome,” he stated.
