I found you & your music through Twenty One Pilots & was immediately drawn in. Your music helped me get through some of the worst seasons of my life (I had been diagnosed w some pretty scary/heavy stuff & it took a MAJOR toll on not just my body but my mind). As I was healing, I used your music as a way to express things I didn't have words for. Then I saw you were extending your Human Condition tour & had a show in my town (no one ever comes to Idaho so it was a BIG deal lol) & IMMEDIATELY went to buy tickets but everywhere was sold out or had crazy high resales - just when I thought there wouldn't be a chance, a local radio station announced a giveaway (for a week) - two tickets & preshow passes. I tried all day every day (so much so, all the DJs knew me by name/number
). I had one day left to try & decided to make a post on IG, tagging the radio station & expressing AGAIN how badly I wanted to go... The week came & went & I didn't win. I was so bummed, so To take my mind off of it, I logged on to IG to doom scroll lol & saw my video gained A LOT of attention - Andy Grammer saw it & jokingly told the station they should help me go to the show - I opened my DMs & saw the station has messaged me. The DJs knew how badly I wanted it & said I had been the only one who tried every day/all week to win , so they held back 2 tickets & 2 preshow passes just in case I didn't win.
The show was absolutely iconic. You played little samples of songs you'd been working on - it felt so surreal to watch your creative process happen in real time, right in front of us (and still desperately want to know if the clips were YOUR songs for GSP or if it was for other artists lol). I really hope I have the opportunity to see you live again, but if I don't, I have some iconic memories to look back on from the 2017 show.Sorry for typing out a short book lol but when am I ever going to get another opportunity to tell a musical genius that his music made such a profound impact in my life? -- for real though, your music has been so important and therapeutic in my life.. I really hope you know you've made such a beautiful impact on ALL of our lives

I first saw Jon at Firefly Festival in Dover, Delaware. I want to say it was 2015? I had never heard his music until right before the festival when I was trying to learn the artists more.
I have a love for songwriting but had stopped writing because lyricism in the industry felt ingenuine and I honestly didn’t feel like there was a space for me in. Then I saw JB perform Pre-Occupied to a crowd of mollied up rich white kids (no judgement to them, ya girl made her share of memories too lol)
Seeing an artist clear a path for himself through the insincere thicket of a copy/paste musicians was thrilling and inspiring. I picked music back up and while I never pursued it as a career, it’s been my safe space all these years to express myself.
Thank you for reminding a (then) 19 year old chick that music can be, HAS to be, whatever we need it to be, and that the right people will always listen. Please come back to the wild so we can stop looking like crazy gremlin fans constantly over explaining your writing credits to our friends at dinner and prophesizing your return.

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 just wanna thank you for being a genuine human being. i truly appreciate this forum and will forever do my best to keep the peace in whatever way i can. you hold a special place in my heart jon because my little brother and i would and still do listen to you and dance around our living room.
i’ve been to one of your shows i believe back in 2018 in indianapolis in the egyptian room (i believe that’s what’s it’s called) !!! it was a birthday gift from a good friend at the time. she had these sparkly vip tickets so we were on this platform the whole time and could see you oh so clearly!!! i’m a short girl so being up higher than everyone else was pretty cool! another little story of that night was even tho we had vip tickets we still wanted to ~try~ and get closer but this big tall(6ft) man named chad wasn’t too happy about a (5ft) girly stepping in front of him so we had to go back to our spot. now i know that probably wasn’t the nicest thing to do, we had our spots we should be happy to have them right? and i totally was that minor moment did not ruin the night but can you blame a girl for trying to see her favorite artist up close?
anyways thank you for everything jon you’re the true beautiful mind🩷

The first time I saw Jon was in Dallas, TX. Deep Ellum. Me and my childhood best friend were super excited for the show. It was such a great day. We went to eat before the show and ended up being seated next to all the guys who performed with Jon. My friend ended up knowing one of Jon’s childhood friends which was cool so we hung out and met Jon. Sweet down to earth guy. I then had the pleasure of seeing Jon and the guys perform in Nashville a week later. I met him again and he did remember me lol

Met Jon back in 2016 after his Boston show for Human Condition Tour. House of blues. Got a VIP pass and talked with Tour Manager. Told him I had a pair of Lebron Solider 10s all white and gold(IYKYK), knew he liked the shoe. Was told after the show Jon wanted to speak with me I thought I was gonna die the whole show. Def fan boyed way too hard, met Jon, the rest of the guys, brought me and my brother on the bus and we traded shoes signed them and everything. Dude was too nice for how much me and my brother were freaking. Spoke to me like a real down to earth friend. Never forget moment. Pics below.

I saw Jon in 2018, in Indianapolis. I don't remember what song it was, but in the middle of it he points out and says something like, "turn around," and no one really did. After he finished the song, he said "no seriously look over there." Behind the audience, the baseball field across the street was setting off fireworks. That was cool to see in the middle of the concert.
Both hands on the candle, can't handle it.

@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!!

@tao_ I’m sure I’ll see you soon! More selfies! Lol

Heard about Jon from a buddy of mine, fell in love with the sound and went to a concert in Miami with my then girlfriend, now wife. Jon’s music has scored my adult life as I’m 26 years old and my only gripe is that we don’t have more of it, although through his podcast appearance with Janko I realize why he stopped putting out music. I hope this new endeavor works out and we get the best from Jon, we always have and now he has the freedom to do it more.

@User12261990 Hey Jon, I'm happy to see this blog and excited to be here! This is a truly perfect way to interact with you. I love all the positive feedback that people are giving you. I wanted to go down memory lane and share with you, and everyone here, an experience from a concert in Houston, Tx. So Jon did this activity in a "backstage" sort of thing where he had 30-ish people in first and he went out into the room with us and started chatting and sharing some new music. And he also picked some people to share some creative talent and I was lucky enough to be picked! He goes on to ask me what's the creative thing that I do and I told him that I rap (or try to). Then he asks me if I would like to rap something for the group, and with my stomach almost giving up on me I say yes! So Mylon Hayde brings out a peruvian cajon and starts giving me a beat. I start spitting some bars and Jon jumps on and starts beat boxing with us! It was insane! To this day I still think I dreamt it all lol But no, I asked my brother the next day and he told me "no dude, it really happened" hahaha we weren't allowed to film or take pictures in the backstage event :c Jon, if you by any chance have pictures or videos of this, man, you would make my year! And i'ts only February! The concert was on June 29th, 2019.

@User12261990 I started listening to you when I was a teenager. Your music genuinely made me feel seen and heard, a scared lonely kid who was struggling with religion and a sense of belonging. Now as an adult I still relate to your music, and I can’t wait to hopefully see you soon if you go on tour. Been wanting new music for a long time, I can’t wait to hear your new stuff!

@User12261990 the first time I heard your music was while I was on my way to see a movie. A friend of mine threw on All Time Low and all I could think was how I’ve never heard music like this before in my life. Your style is so unique and vocally/lyrically driven. The sounds you’re able to achieve are mesmerizing. Safe to say, when I first heard that track, I immediately became a fan.
Fast forward to the following year, you performed in Bethel, NY. You played All Time Low, Luxury, and so many other hits. The best part of it all is how you performed each song. I remember you passionately hitting your sample board while the place erupted. That was the moment that solidified you as my favorite artist of all time.

your music was the soundtrack to me and my friends lives in middle/high school and every time i listen to any of your songs now its just like flooding of those memories its amazing. so many good sneak-outs from my parents house to ur songs hahah

Inside was an ocean of soul and emotion
Then you cut me open... -
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.

First of all this is dope. I’m excited to see what’s to come!
My older brother introduced me to your music in high school. SoundCloud was filled with everything Jon. The first song that gave me chills was simple and sweet. Fast forward 5 years I got that tattooed bc your music meant the world to me. Fast forward another 5 years, I’ve only had the honor of seeing once in Dallas (2016) and I’m praying to see you again! I have however, seen your work again. I’ve seen Tori Kelly and Jonas brothers in there most recent albums to get of feel of your work! And it absolutely did not disappoint! I’m getting married in 2026, and the best gift would be new music and a concert! Nothing else matters!
Happy to be here 🩷

@User12261990 You are such a huge part of my life even though we may never meet. I love how an artist can have such a huge impact on someone in that way. I remember I was in 6th grade when I heard "All Time Low" for the first time. I was out in the hallway with my friend and I had her play the song over and over because it was instantly just the best thing my middle school girl ears had ever heard. From that moment on I was hooked and all I could think, breath, speak, was your music! You influenced so much of my middle-highschool time, and I wouldnt have it any other way. I had 2 close friends at the time that also loved your music and we bonded over it. Sophomore year GSP came out and I remember sitting in math class listening to the album with my guy friend. It was such a special moment bonding over your art. I was able to go to your glory sound prep concert in Chicago, and my family cherishes probably the worst photo of me EVER from that concert. I was so full of pure joy and excitement in that moment. I have moved into other music the past couple years, but you are always the backbone and foundation of my love for music. I can listen to any of your music and it never gets old. Never stop doing what you do best, because it impacts so many people in ways you could never know. Lots of love <33

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
