I'm pretty sure I didn't know who JB was when I heard Violence by B.o.b and I loved Psychadelik Thoughtz so much at that time. I think I was then recommended JB either on Spotify or YouTube and IMMEDIATELY fell in love and went down a rabbit hole! I got to experience one of my favorite concerts in a small venue called The Rock in Tucson in summer of 2016. I went by myself and the crowd was one of the absolute best I have been a part of. I got to meet Mylon after the show. Then I found out JB would be back in February 2017 with Twenty One Pilots and Judah & The Lion. I went by myself to that one too and once again an amazing experience!!
I am so happy to have discovered your music Jon, especially when I did. I don't feel that deeply with many artists/producers and your music is such a safe space and I feel it in my heart and soul. It's such a wonderful thing watching you create, truly. And MY GOD do I get choked up everytime I blast Kid Again. I am truly looking forward to more solo music from you. Oh man and I just barely heard young gun with Tori Kelly.... ahhhhhh!!! So damn good!!
Edit: Also the Timbaland and Pharrell type vibes from your music is golden! 🤌 -
My friend and I found Jons music on a youtube channel called "best modern music" back in 2014 i think maybe earlier cant really remember but we were addicted from then and started to listen to everything he released from then on.

I haven’t had social media on my phone for over 6 years. I’ve missed out on interaction and times and tour memories yall held dear. I wanna re connect and hear about times on tour or moments listening to albums for the first time, people you’ve met. What ever here.
Like I said this forum is sort like social media for me. The emails and here is where yall will get everything first.
@User12261990 I can't remember how I found your music but when I finally got to see a show, it was GSP in Boston, August 2019 I believe. I was front row, center and I've been chasing that high since. I love live music and I am fortunate to go to many artists shows but nothing has come close to watching you create and just vibe in such a carefree kind of way. It seemed so effortless. I know my friends will be just as excited to see exile end because I haven't shut up about your ass for six years.
I have a video of you sitting in front of me singing Woke The Fuck Up and I'm so glad I took the video but I'm also so glad I watched with my own eyes and not through the screen. I can't wait to see what you've been cooking. Thank you for this space and for sharing your passion with us. You are appreciated. -

@User12261990 The night GSP came out it was snowing like crazy near me. For some reason I had this feeling that I just needed to sit alone outside in the snow with headphones on and just experience it. It was one of the most centering moments in my life and nothing has ever come close to that. Truly a magical moment.

Jon, it has felt like your music was written just for me. Each stage of life I am in, you have had an album or song that speaks directly to it. From being 22 and confused, to coming to terms with my own humanity amidst high expectations, to dealing with luxury in this world, to falling-in love and getting married. Just as I was going through those experiences, you seemed to be releasing a song or album about it.
Now I have kids of my own and I can't help but think your next album will speak to early parenting, at least a little bit... Can't wait to hear the next stuff you have for us!
Overall, I am super happy for you to be able to make music of your own again. Praying for you and your family as you step into this next phase!

@hellinisticninja same, while no doubt our timing is just great(I had a kid recently too lol), I’ve come to the conclusion he writes so universally and to a specific kind of heart that it connects so well with it. I have my own theories that include Jon, Bob Dylan style writing and folk music as a whole.

@User12261990 I discovered your music when I was in middle school. Music was a big outlet for me and my self-expression. I would fall down Youtube wormholes and fantasized about one day becoming a producer like you. I never had that level of talent, but your passion for the music was so inspirational. Even though I never pursued a career in music I did everything I could to keep music and art in my life and it's made my experience on this Earth so much more fulfilling. The Human Condition changed my life, and it's still my favorite no-skip album. Specifically, Hand of God is the most beautiful piece of art to me. You can hear and feel the love and craftmanship that went into it. Love you, Jon! Keep doing what you're doing. Looking forward to what's next!

I found you on a suggested playlist on Spotify my freshman year of high school. I was a Long Island kid in the middle of nowhere North Carolina and I felt like you were my big brother telling me everything was gonna be okay. I’ve traveled all over to see you, even back to NY while living in NC because I wouldn’t miss jones beach for the world. Now as a parent too I cannot wait to connect and cry through your songs as we both grow up

Hey Jon, I'm Shane Breece. My buddy Travis introduced me to your music back in 2017 in Freshman year and then your Genius interview popped up on my YT. After watching that, I became a lifelong superfan. Went down every rabbit hole I could to study your craft, your creativity, and the driving force behind everything. I'm 22 now and have been a musician for 17 years. I always knew I was gonna be a musician, but when I discovered your artistry, I finally had something to shoot for. I had a target to aim my arrows at, and the drive to just keep shooting until something hit the mark. I wouldn't be half the creator I am today without your music. It's bucket list item #1 to work with you one day soon (it's going to happen lol) and I can't wait for the opportunity to shake your hand in person and tell you thank you for being a "little creator" and inviting us to witness your "daily offerings".
PS is Mark Ronson as monotone in person as he seems in this Masterclass?? out of pocket my fault
PSS Tell Tenroc to drop the album alr
PX Tori better have a feature on your album or else I'm giving your masters back to Capitol
God bless,

hey, Jon @User12261990 are we ever going to get the full Cove City concert from COVID-19? the videos online have carried me on some days

Love this forum so far!! So great to connect with new people.
I remember my brother showed me your song Woke the F*ck Up and after listening to that song over and over I checked out the rest of your albums and then I was completely hooked.
Your music has definitely been one of my biggest inspiration when it comes to creating my own music, so thank you for that.
Stupid Deep has actually become my favorite song ever. The lyrics hits me on such a emotional level everytime I listen to it.
Seeing you live in Oslo on the GSP tour was the best concert I've been to, and I hope to experience another live performance some day.
I'm extremely hyped for the new album, I've been playing KID AGAIN on constant repeat since it dropped.
Thanks for reminding me that I CAN DO ANYTHING𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒇 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒊 𝒉𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒎𝒆

@User12261990 In 2016, my boyfriend at the time introduced me to THC, and I loved it and immediately downloaded all of your albums. Anywhere we went, we only listened to you in the car. After he and I broke up, we had already bought tickets to your concert in Chicago in 2019, so we went together as exes, and I don’t regret a single moment! That night, nothing else mattered but our shared love of your music. We danced in each others’ arms to our song, Overwhelming, and ultimately had an incredible night. We got to meet Lawrence, too! We never did get back together but my love for your music has only grown stronger and stronger since!!
@jessjurak OMG!! this response moved me to tears! This is almost exactly how my story went. In 2016 I was introduced to Jons music and me and my boyfriend at the time shared the same love for him. In 2019 we had went our separate ways but still attended the GSP tour together in Houston as exes. We also never got back together but I will never stop loving Jon more and more everyday for the memories his music has given me. xoxo

In 2019, I lived with a buddy who loved and appreciated music the same way I did. At that time (and to this day), I was mostly into old-school folk and soft rock from the 60s and 70s. One day, I went into our garage (which was the designated hangout spot at the time) to jam on some guitar and enjoy the soft cushion of a raggedy old couch we picked up on a street corner earlier that year.
My roommate had not only beaten me to the couch, but he had also replaced the single light fixture in the garage with a color-changing bulb. He was listening to music on a shitty old JBL speaker.
The color of the room was cyan. The song was Eyes to the Sky.
I was sold. Instantly.
Was I late to the party? Yes. Like, just missed out kind of late. But I suppose that was okay, because I had a LOT of catching up to do.
But I'm all caught up now.
6 years is long enough.

I won a reality show in Aus in 2015, and 3 years in with a major label I was feeling disconnected with the path I was being taken down.
Two mates put me on to the beat breakdown of Guillotine, and that was the very first moment I saw that an artist could produce their own stuff as well as write it. It hurdled me into what has turned into a 10 year journey as a creative (I've found labelling myself as a producer, writer, artist, vocalist is too restricting).
Since that day, I've gotten hundreds of cut - some with some of my countries biggest names - have a Billboard #1 in Japan, release my own music to satisfy my intrigues and share my perspectives and continue to learn and unlearn the rules I subconsciously adopt - and Jon Bellions artistry and philosophy when it comes to interfacing with creativity is something that I resonate profoundly with, to which I owe a great deal of gratitude.
So thankyou JB, from one vessel to another
@cyrusvill bro what’s your music name, I wanna listen!

@User12261990 I don't even remember how I found your music, but I remember when All Time Low just went super viral and I spiraled into my love for the music. I found you all by myself, no influence from others, and it felt so special to me to know I had an artist I loved that felt uniquely me. But it was also lonely!! I managed to find other fans and went twice to shows. I still have my original Ticketmaster ticket printed and pinned on my corkboard haha. Yours was the first concert I chose to go to that wasn't me just tagging along with other people. It was terrifying and exciting and I remember I just completely forgot to breathe when you walked out on stage lmao. Meanwhile a dude twice my size was SCREAMING his head off, obsessed.
Can't wait to make more memories with your music️@keyboardcat324
Is that 4th wing reference on the bottom of your post? “My house. My chair. My woman?” -
