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've been a fan since 2015 and unfortunately haven't been able to see you live. I've just been super unlucky and either was out of the country or had some important thing to do on those days and had to miss it =(.
I discovered your music about 6-ish months after I discovered Logic with his The Incredible True Story album. I was going through his older music and kept coming back to Welcome to Forever cuz I loved your vocals and was like, "I should check this Bellion guy out". I decided to listen to the entire THC album and was instantly hooked. Just wanted to say thank you for the beautiful music and journey you've brought us on through it and I can't wait to finally see you in concert some day. -
Hey, my name is Nick, I’m 25 and an aspiring producer/engineer from Long Island and it’s been a dream of mine to work with you. So much so that I found myself Interning at Cove City Sound Studios just because I saw your making of videos, in hopes to maybe run into you. Although I didn’t I still heard about you and connected my experience with the videos I see of you making music in the very studio I worked in.
You’ve inspired me through the words in your songs and ways you format your music and even how your style comes out in songs you make for others. Working with you is still my goal as I try and work on my carrer in NYC as a music producer keeping your Jersey up in the rafter of my mind because you will always be a legend to me.
I’m so excited to keep on appreciating your work as you make new music in the future. Thank you!

@User12261990 I will remember where I was when I heard you for the first time, It was 2014 and I was 14, I live in Los Angeles and I was out getting groceries with my older sister and her friend on a rainy day and we got back in the car and she turns on munny right and I was in the back seat and I’m not kidding something in me literally changed right at that moment. My mind was blown and then she also played luxury right after. I had never in my life connected with something so instantaneously and it will always be a moment I will remember for the rest of my life. I went home and did all of the research possible about you and was hooked. I listened to the rest of the definition that night and then everything else that entire week when i was in class. I’ve been blessed enough to see you I believe 4 or 5 times now. Around 16 I got a laptop and started making music because of you and now it’s what i want to do forever. Hopefully one day i could be signed to beautiful mind because i feel like only beautiful mind could guide me in the right direction. Hey look I was able to fit in a song title naturally at the end hahaha

In spring 2017, my now fiancé and I had just started hanging out in college. We had quite a few study nights where we’d listen to music and he introduced me to Jon’s music. As a girl that regularly bumped RHCP in my Jeep (not my Nissan), I’ll never forget him singling along to Overwhelming. Ooh was another song he would sing to me, and as you can see in my username, Christienne is my middle name. So when I saw Christianne Jansen’s name as the feature, it threw me for a loop. To top all this off, Jon Bellion came to our college and did the LDOC concert that spring. I remember finding out, and rushing to tell my (now) fiancé - he literally didn’t believe me. Everything just felt meant to be, and turns out it was.
There’s even more to our story and Jon’s music, but I’ll save that for another forum. I found the love of my life and Jon’s words and music have had such a profound impact on our lives. I hope he reads through these stories and can see how powerful and impactful his beautiful mind truly is.
With love

I’m putting this here so I can look back bc this just happened. I was in the car with my mother and I decided to play “Mah’s joint” and she asked “What does he mean by when my mother was a mother to her mom?” And I kinda had to explain it to her, and after talking abt it with her I was really listening to the song and was trying my best to not cry. Because I was realizing how beautiful the circle of life was shown in the song.
That is all, catch you guys later. -

@User12261990 October 1 2019 in Milan, flew out to Italy on my way back to China just because I refused to miss a tour.

YOoooo! I saw you live at the University of Delaware back in 2019, it was absolutely electric. I just so happened to talk to someone online who went there and knew about it, which is the only way I would have known it was gonna happen. The venue was so small and I was on the floor maybe 15 feet max from the stage, felt like I was a part of some kind of secret haha. Best part was when you were shocked that you were able to hear the dude in the crowd yell "LONG ISLAND BABYYY" through your in-ear monitors LMAO. Coolest and most fun show I've ever been to.

@User12261990 I saw you in Atlanta in the summer of 2019 on the GSP tour. I was losing my MIND to every song, but I cried when you put Stupid Deep in the middle of Adult Swim. Like…..it literally felt like you were sharing the Good News!!!! I mean HOLY COW!!! It was incredible!
I also just loved all the different spins you did on songs. Like when the whole band just jammed during Guillotine??? MAGIC.

@User12261990 I also deleted social media from my phone 6 years ago (with a brief "relapse" of Twitter during Covid unfortunately) and it was one of the best decisions I have made.
I found your music in high school with the release of The Human Condition and Glory Sound Prep. Morning in America, Hand of God, and Stupid Deep became instant favorites of mine.
For some reason, I stopped listening for a few years and rediscovered your music when I was in college when my now fiancee mentioned Hand of God to me with the comment "I heard this song and I think you might like it."
That was the end of 2021. Through 2022 I probably listened through The Human Condition album over 100 times. Through 2023 I did the same thing with Glory Sound Prep. Last year, I gained a newfound respect and appreciation for your acoustic sets on spotify. It is obvious you take a lot of pride in your work and that is something I admire
Anyway, you also released Kid Again on our 2 year anniversary which was so random but such a cool thing for us and we both enjoy that song.
I don't know you and all of this seems weird for me to type out on a screen because I try not to get all parasocial and stuff but I am intrigued with this forum and wanted to come in and check it out.

@User12261990 I never had the opportunity to see you live, I was a kid in 9th grade when I first starting listening to your music. Instantly fell in love. That was 8-9 years ago now. I guess I’m old. At that age, I would grab my longboard after school, put my speaker in my drawstring bag, and go downhill in my little town in Wisconsin. I’d blast shuffle all your songs.
Fast forward now, went to school for welding, failed, went to school for producing(thanks Jon), life got in the way hugely. Almost died mentally and physically. Breakups were met with drowning my sorrows and pain with songs like stupid deep, blu, conversations with my wife, all acoustic, good things fall apart. I didn’t ask you, but I made an edit using stupid deep about my first girlfriend when we broke up to try and win her back.
Still a drummer and have been for about 9-10 years. Jon, your music didn’t just change my life when not making music, allowing me to express those feelings of heart break and true social deprivation, but it helped me also fall so in love with music, just like that girlfriend who shows you true love. Know you’ve got a gift chief. It’s real. Beautiful minds are the minds that thrive by stomping on complacency. Ain’t nobody gone anywhere by sleepwalking to the mundane hopelessness formed from denial of your calling written in your blood, caused by other pained hearts. Depth of thought is key, and the Bible is the key to wisdom of our surroundings, and Jesus is our suffering savior. We relate to him because he is our God. And each foot step of Jesus is felt in every quarter note of your music Jon. At least by me. Even if she’s the reason you’re alone and masterbate lol. Love you man
️ there’s something to be said about the spirit behind music. -
@User12261990 you were my first concert. You were the first stone in my foundation I built with God. Your music saved my soul. Thank you for creating this platform. #90s

@User12261990 My first time getting to see a live show was also at the same venue where I first heard “Guillotine.” Whoever the DJ was between sets at the concert I was at played it and when I heard it, I Shazammed the hell out of it and had it on repeat for weeks. Fast forward to the concert at the First Bank center and when Hand of God came on, I felt an overwhelming amount of tears and gratitude. That song hits such a pinnacle and hearing it live for the first time was such a blissful moment that I can truly never forget.

I remember little 16-year-old me absolutely BAWLING my eyes out after the Glory Sound Prep tour—it was that powerful. To this day, it remains the best concert I have ever been to. Now, at 22, my love for your music has only grown. I have (nearly) all your albums on vinyl, and you’ve been my top Spotify artist every single year since I was about 14. Your music has been the soundtrack to my life, and I can’t thank you enough for that.

Wow, such a honour to be here. Just thought I'd share my sob story to introduce myself. I became a fan of Jon in 2018 and was supposed to see him in concert in 2019 in Dublin Ireland. I took a bus up from Cork (2 1/2 hours) to meet 10 other friends (who came from Donegal - 3 1/2 hours) who were going to see the concert as well. We go to the ticket office to pick up our tickets and much to our dismay - 9 out of 11 tickets were fakes... There were resellers on the street selling a few more at extortionate prices. 4 people were chosen, I was not one of them. I went to the pub with the others, drank a few pints of water, met up with the 4 after the concert who loved it and got me a t-shirt, got back on the bus to Cork, got into bed at 3 am, got out of bed at 5 am for work, and have patiently waited for the day Jon would come back to Ireland.
10 years down, many more to go!
