Jo Kwon is a South Korean singer, dancer, musical actor, entertainer, host, and member of 2AM (투에이엠). He graduated from Korea Arts High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Postmodern Music and a master's degree in Performing Arts, both from Kyung Hee University.

In early 2008, JYP Entertainment (JYP엔터테인먼트) launched a reality/documentary show called "Hot Blood Men" capturing the training program of 14 trainees. After 3 were eliminated, the remaining 11 trainees joined to create ONE DAY (원데이), and almost immediately, they were split into two separate groups, ballad-oriented 2AM (4 trainees) and hip-hop/R&B-oriented 2PM (7 trainees).

He made his debut in July 2008 as 2AM's leader and lead vocalist with the single "This Song". The group found commercial success from the beginning, with most of their singles charting inside the top-ten in all major South Korean charts.

He made his debut as a solo artist in June 2012 with the studio album "I'm Da One".

In August 2016, he was supposed to become part of project group TRIPLE T (alongside GIRLS' GENERATION Hyoyeon and MISS A's Min), but JYP decided to cancel the project after they had released the single "Born To Be Wild".

As some members left JYP, the group went on a 7-year hiatus with 3 members fulfilling their mandatory military service and, later, being involved in other individual activities. He enlisted for his mandatory military service on August 6, 201,8 and was discharged on March 24, 2020.

The group reunited in 2021 and released their fourth EP, "Ballad 21 F/W", and now continue to actively promote and also handle their individual activities. In 2024, he signed with Archive Achim (아카이브 아침) and continues to promote with the group and frequently appears in variety shows and musicals.
