You were my first concert when I was 15, it was the Birmingham o2 institute, I went with my best friend at the time and sat in line for 4 hours. We somehow managed to get to the front next to the VIPs. I made ‘friends’ with the people next to us and the security guard in front of us. Everyone absolutely loved it (obviously!!!) even the guy next to us that only went because his girlfriend had “dragged” him there. I think you gained a fan that day haha. I cried and sweat all my makeup off and hold on dearly to those memories. You shaped my teenage years and my early adulthood. You continue to make an outstanding impact on my life, from binge listening through all your albums with my two kids to watching interviews with you and feeling a sense of pride with how far you’ve come. So much love from the UK

Saw you in Chicago years ago @ Northerly Island. You had the whole crowd doing line dances together. Had hopes of getting a Netflix show going and you wanted the fans to help you create it. I remember you putting codes on the merch having us vote on the typa show. While it didn’t come to fruition (yet) it was cool seeing how much you cared about the fans and having us help you complete your vision.. nothing but love, can’t wait for everything you got planned!

I remember being in class when I was in 10th grade browsing SoundCloud when I found a song called smooth movin. I instantly was hooked. This was shortly before THC dropped and when it did, I immediately downloaded every song you had put out at the time on my PSP. Every bus ride to and from school I would listen to you while reading. Your music shaped the scenes in the books that I read and turned them into memories I’ll never forget. That was 11 years ago and still to this day I go back and listen to paper planes, human, or luxury and the memories flood back In. Makes me super emotional every damn time.

April 2016: I was 18 years old and found out my dad has stage 4 lung cancer.
May 2016: My dad began treatments and there were a lot of unknowns.
June 2016: Maybe IDK was released. The lyrics “ I wonder why we all fear the things that we might not know” resonated deeply with me.
July 2016: I heard those lyrics in person for the first time at The Rave in Milwaukee, WI.
August - October 2016: More and more answers were given to us about his diagnosis. I continued to listen to Maybe IDK daily to help get me through.
November 2016: My dad was diagnosed as terminal.
December 14, 2016: I heard those lyrics in person for the second time at The Rave in Milwaukee, WI.
December 20, 2016: My dad passed away after an 8 month battle.
Fast forward to July 2019: you were performing at Huntington Beach Pavilion in Chicago, IL. Days leading up to the show, I tried so hard to figure out a way to meet you so that I could thank you for helping me through the darkest part of my life and to ask you to hand write the lyrics for me. I was unsuccessful.
October 2019: I got the lyrics tattooed.These lyrics continue to serve as a daily reminder to myself to stay in the present and to not fear the unknown. These lyrics have helped me through many dark times in my life, and for that I am forever grateful. Thank you, Jon.

My husband and I have been listening since the earlyyyy days, back when we were in high school. We’ve been together for over 10 years and some of our favorite memories have The Definition as the soundtrack behind them. We’ve traveled from NY to Dallas to see a show (one of the best experiences I’ve ever had!!), and I can’t wait to see what’s next!

SO beyond pumped that you’re back!!!! A friend of mine sent me “Eyes to the Sky” when I was like 12 and I instantly became a huge fan. I’m almost 23 now and you’ve been my #1 played artist every year since. My (now) fiancée and I were introduced to each other in college because everyone who knows me know I love JB, and a mutual friend of ours heard him singing ‘Good Things Fall Apart” and told him he should talk to me. We were over the moon to find someone else that loved our favorite artist—We’re getting married this year so all of this excitement couldn’t have come at a better time!! What a year!!

I have been listening to you since about 2018/2019. I don't remember which of your songs I heard first, but I have know of all your songs both released and unreleased by heart, and I have watched your Making Of videos dozens of times over the years. You are my biggest inspiration.

Been a fan since around 2015-16 through YouTube videos including your music as intros and outros, but only found other fans and joined the fandom around 2018-19. I remember watching you drop singles for GSP in the days and weeks before it officially released, I was only 14 back then, haha! I specifically remember hearing CWMW when it dropped, I was only my way to school and pretty giddy about GSP nearing back then. My mental health wasn’t so good back then, listening to your music helped me out and to this day makes me reminisce on certain time periods I took for granted. I saw you live on October 4th, 2019, London, at 15 years old. What a great night with my older brother, I still look back on it, as well as looking forward to any potential ones! I’m 20 now, having stuck around for almost a decade now! Though my music taste has changed and developed I always find I eventually come back to yours. Guess it itches the right part of my brain haha. I can’t wait to see (hear) what you have in mind next

In 2018, the All Time Low YouTube video wouldn't stop showing up for me. After a few weeks of this, I decided to give it a chance, and that was it. Your music was all I heard for months.
You have been my most listened-to artist on Spotify since 2019.
Unfortunately, I don't know anyone here in Brazil who enjoys your art, so it's nice to have this forum to connect with other fans.
Thank you for sharing your passion with us, and thank you for coming back. We missed you.

Back in 2016, I heard your song All Time Low on a ringtone app because I wanted a ringtone, lol. I liked it so much that I looked you up and never stopped listening since then. I even got to attend your concert during the Glory Sound Prep tour in Belgium. I was so excited that day—we drove for hours to get there, and I was scared we wouldn’t make it on time. But we did, and I even got to stand in the front! It was such a unique experience.

been a fan since 2016 (I think, everything blends together now)
meeting you after Drewapolooza was extremely special. We spoked about myself wanting to do audio recording and getting accepted& going to Five Towns.Thank you for being so genuine and humble and nice. You’ve helped me in ways you don’t even know.
Much love! -
I remember the first time I listened to a song of yours was in December 2016, a couple of months after THC had released. Me and my family were visiting Kentucky for winter break, and were on our way to an arcade with some other people in the car. I specifically remember the moment All Time Low started playing on the radio, and I instantly got hooked onto it. As the years went by however, I had forgotten about you (unfortunately). But in 2021, a thought came into my head... "What was that one song that went like 'Low low low low low low low low low'?" It took me a couple minutes and I realized I had rediscovered an old gem. I will never regret the decision I made to listen to THC in full, and then GSP, and then your other songs... and now I find myself constantly listening to your songs, every single one (even the unreleased ones) are so god damn fucking good, and I can't wait for your return.

I posted Kid Again on my socials, on knowing one JB friend I had. Multiple stepped forward, including a girl I worked with on a huge project of mine. Crazy how we reconnected years after graduating just because we both vibe with Bellion.
-
My current boyfriend is actually the one who introduced me to you! We were both with different people at the time, but ended up reconnecting years later and enjoying your music together. I like to think your music is what really connected us in the first place. Our goal is to come see you live whenever you play again!

Discovering you was a life changing experience for me. When I first started writing it was with the goal of getting attention from others as opposed to loving my craft, which put a huge damper on my creativity and enjoyment. I was also selfishly focused on trying to do things myself and gain fame rather than trusting God to put wind under my wings and let me fly the direction He wanted to take me. Discovering you changed all of that. I heard the Human Condition first (which sent me spiraling through your whole discography and other songs you produced for other people years ago) and now 5 years later I'm 23 and couldn't be happier with how I produce and write. Christ lead me to your music because it showed me that faithful people can succeed in this industry. Your interview/podcast with George Janko brought tears to my eyes because seeing you wear your faith on your sleeve proved to me that God put me on to your music for a reason. Thank you for being an amazing role model for me. I might be an engineering student and not a music major, but I am far from down and out when it comes to using the talents God has given me and you reminded me of. I am free.
P.S. These ain't fightin' words but I'm pretty competitive, so I can't wait for you to do more so that I too can soar higher than before.

I was 12 years old when “pre occupied” came on my Spotify shuffle. I immediately went down the rabbit hole of “the making of” videos on YouTube.
today i am 23 and a billboard charting writer / producer living full time off music.
thank you.

First time listening was on a camping trip and my friend put on THC. I was hooked instantly and couldn't believe that this album itched parts of my brain that haven't ever been itched before, or been itched by anything else other than JB. What a legend creating music like nobody else out there.
