If the smooth, soulful sound of this R&B crooner is anything to go by, his status as a bachelor will be short-lived. Let me introduce you to Jonathan ‘Peace’ Rodriquez. If his impressive resume is the content of the man he is, soon he will need no introduction. Peace grew up in the Bronx, but soon called the West Side streets of Manhattan his home. The hard knocks of the street emboldened this young man, giving him character and a sense of purpose early in life. Born November 3, 1980, he is wise and surprisingly mellow for a mere 23 years. If truth be told, I almost killed the interview mid-way with the hope of an Ashton/Demi escapade. But good sense prevailed and so here he is for all you young, nubile, lusty gen-xers.

Peace currently works as a salesman, holding down an exciting second job as a personal trainer. A budding singer he is looking to make it big in the industry. In fact when asked about where he sees himself in the next 3-5 years he answered definitively, “to be signed to a label and be on tour.” His persona is one of spirituality and a deep and abiding respect for the nuances of life. His songwriting style reflects just that, revealing a sensual side that is equally telling. Professionally, he has performed at various clubs, including the Soul Café and has appeared on 106 & Park’s “Do You Show.”

He has also set his sites on a career in acting, recently trying out for a reality show on UPN 9, called “The UPN9 Player” and has caught the attention of other producers such as the people behind a show featuring Missy Elliot. Nothing is a done deal yet but he’s hoping to have a breakthrough real soon.

A brother with a positive attitude to life and ambitious aspirations more often than not desires potential partners bearing similar qualities. It goes without saying that first attractions start with a physical connection and Peace is absolutely certain of what his typical woman should look like. His physical criteria are all very interesting; “I like a woman who is thick” he says who has some serious ‘buns’ and nice legs. My turn-off is bad hygiene as that is indicative of your mentality and defines you negatively”.

“My ideal mate should possess old-fashioned values, should be supportive and emotionally in tune with me” he says. A sense of independence, spirited, adventurous, amenable to change are all qualities he thinks important to a successful relationship. If you are “hot” but can’t keep a home together (you know take care of your man, as the old adage says, a man’s house is his castle), you need not apply. He believes strongly that a man should be a man in a relationship, respectfully so however.

Think you are the perfect candidate; before you deliver yourself here’s what will clinch the deal, you have to be a lady on the streets and a freak in bed, nothing else will do.
