Welcome back Jon!!
How much do you know about the rising artist Livingston? He’s cited your work as one of his biggest inspirations, how likely would it be to see the two of you collab later down the line?
@Zachary-Shoemaker never heard will check it out
-
What ever happened to the jbgsp website “now loading” from the merch tags? Just curious!
Discovered your music somewhere around 2011/2012 when I was in college, love being on this ride with you as your style and music evolves. Respect your wild talent and especially your outlook on life!
@DariaWB GSP series has and always will be underway. I’ve been writing it since high school with my buddy Dan from Sachem days. We’re still prepping for pitch land and hacking away.

This might be a totally random question, but in the song paper planes on the TTS album - is the noise in the background a loon bird? I do bird identification and since its my favorite song that part is beautiful!
@Ezy.cheese hahaahahahaha it’s a preset in sound effects bank in Logic DAW system
-
I love this, I love that you found a way to interact with your fans in a healthy manner, so you're not glued to your phone or computer at the whims of a machine. I also love that we have a chance to interact in a far more human way than with any other artist

I’m becoming a father for the first time this year in August. Any advice for caring for my wife in pregnancy and preparing for the birth?
@mjohnson be present and be ready to help. The baby won’t want much of you at first. Be ready to help your wife.
-
Is there any songs that you wish you didn’t give away? What were some of your favorites to make?
@Geaalberico sometimes I think LOVE LIKE THIS by Zayne or GHOST by Bieber would have been fun to release. But they sound great and this new music a whole other animal. I’m happy these new songs are the return records haha
-
How easy or not do you find it to incorporate God into your music in such a secular world? It’s my favorite part of your genius.
@Brybrid7 I like the challenge of making impossibly large institutions and concepts feel designer especially this time around. EX: God, Family, Country, Being a Dad, Being married. Community, as a father I realize these things are crucial for my sons. But in all honesty it feels natural because I value those things. So I wanna fight sonically for them. But it’s also easy because it’s who. I am? I try not to force it while also prioritizing it hahahahhss
I just happen to be face to face with a lot of these subjects as a dad these days.
-
This is the illest shit I’ve ever witnessed in my life.
@italian-stallion let’s gooooo
-
Are you going to use the same artist, David Ardinaryas Lojaya, for your next album cover? Love his art style and it would be cool to have that continuity between the studio albums.
@jacksonraedeke David is my absolute favorite. This time around we took a totally different approach though. Tapped into my actual heritage and family history instead of fantasy aesthetic.
-
Will you ever release 2 Car Garage?
@BraydenB22 it’s coming but on a different artist. I think it comes out soon.
-
@YEE I’ve been into Luke Combs, guys got velvet pipes. A real saucy vocal lol
-
@aklec commitment, effort, spiritual battle, leadership
-
My friends and I have been OGs for a long time... about a year before you took a break we traded your wife a fathead of Randy and Rob gave us a setlist. Wondering if you still have that in a closet somewhere, LMAO
@bleachxbaths lmaoaoaooaao I’m sure it’s at my parents house hahahaha

@User12261990 excited to see what it will be
God bless Jon you are the goat -
I feel like Jon has an epic burger order. How do you like to stack your patties and condiments.
-
@jake.meredith_ you might have to do some of the BS in order to get away from it. Hard truth. Do it in your own way. I stepped away from it all understanding and accepting the potential access and popularity I might lose. But I did do it at the start of it all. You’re right I have a large base now so I can do that but I grinded and did the dance for a few years before being able to decide to drop it all and build stuff like this! Hope you’re doing amazing through it all!

God bless Jon you are the goat@jacksonraedeke is my cousin and we both became fanboys when I visited him over our high school thanks giving break in 2015 and showed him your stuff. Look how far we’ve come…

@User12261990 Thank you! In a sense I saw that answer coming, but I still needed to hear it. Seeing the quiet part (sometimes gotta do the BS to get past the BS) actually get said out loud by the person on the scene who I respect and look up to the most provides a lot of validation for me for justifying making some eye catching video while in the early stages of building an audience (not that goal is fame, but can’t make a living off no credentials/audience either). I appreciate you saying to navigate doing it my own way as well, helped me to recognize that while some decisions are better than others, there’s no “right” way per se. I actually just made a subreddit called r/BeautifulMindInspired that I’m hoping to grow so people who enjoy music from you and BM can promote and critique each other so we can all grow together and also maybe polish a few diamonds in the rough. Your faith is inspiring to me, and I’m excited to move forward with my music my own way and just see where God takes me. He gave me this gift, so imma work my ass off to offer it up and give the glory back to Him.

Designing this forum is also a way for me to be able to interact with you guys but at a pace that’s healthy for me. (Plus all the data is ours no algorithmic BS)
I ain’t doing no TikTok dances to push the music lmao we already have a community bigger than most artists.
Yall deserve a space different than the usual rat race BS.
I’m goana take time each week to sit and answer some questions. Let them fly here.
@User12261990 this is such an awesome way to interact with your community and build hype, you've done an incredible job here! Also I'm glad you're fighting back against the algorithms, they're such a huge pain to deal with. Good on you!
