Jon Bellion

New York singer/songwriter, producer and rapper Jon Bellion is successfully bridging the gap between pop and hip hop with his own brand of music and has made waves on the circuit with a number of well received mix tapes. He released his latest tape 'The Definition' through the Visionary Music Group and his name soon began to appear more regularly on 'ones to watch for 2015' lists around the blogosphere.

Citing Kanye West as one of his largest influences, it would appear Jon has been watching some of the rapper's performances as he steps out with his own air of self assuredness. The more pop influences from Coldplay and John Mayer are evident during a melodic rendition of 'Beautiful Now'. There is no doubt Bellion knows his way around a pop hook after penning tracks for the likes of Rihanna and Jason Derulo over his career. Now standing ahead of the release of a debut album, there is great potential here and a large outreach to fans.

I love Jon Bellion as a singer, songwriter, and performer. Sadly, he played for less than an hour, and it was honestly so disappointing. Last time I went to see him he played for almost 2 hours. The fact that he is more famous now and played for less time just disappoints me... He used to be my absolutely favorite artist. His first opener (The band Laurence) was pretty good. They were entertaining and not terrible at performing/singing. The second opener (honestly shouldn’t have more than one opener) was awful. He sang over pre recorded tracks, and honestly it was like watching someone badly sing in the shower. I was so disappointed because I hardly got to see Jon Bellion perform, and he is who I paid to see. I wouldn’t NOT spend my money to go and see him again...

Jon Bellion's music speaks for itself. The groove, musicality, lyrics and rhythm are already absolutely mind-blowing, but when it comes to live performance it becomes hypnotising. He adds a new twist to his songs and really makes it a once in a lifetime experience. On two occasions he went off "script" and freestyled with his entire band (who are incredibly talented and inspiring!) and creates such a lively and wonderful experience you can't help but to have a religious experience. He puts so much love into his performance, it practically radiates off of him. If you ever get a chance to see him live, go for it! You will not regret it!

Despite an awful performance from Aaron Carter to start the night off, Jon really brightened the mood and made the night a great one. Extremely talented and cool, Jon managed to get my small ass school in PA really jamming out for the entire set. I thought it was really amazing that despite it being a smaller crowd than what he usually performs for, he still gave it his all. He performed his new single Guillotine, stage dived, and just all around made the perforance the best he possibly could've. His band was outstanding as well.

Best concert I've been to in a long time! I discovered Clark Beckham after his surprise opening and I'm a huge fan!! Travis Mendes and Blaque Keyz both killed it and got the crowd super hyped. Jon was AMAZING; he had so much energy and passion, his voice was perfect and he even gave an absolutely uplifting/eye-opening/inspiring speech about loving everyone around you. It was definitely worth over three hours spent out in the cold rain. I only regret not having been to either of the two first Human Condition tours.

It was an amazing experience. The venue, Myth, was a good place, except I think they might’ve overfilled it. The pit was absolutely packed (which I expected) but the hallways and balconys were stuffed as well. The show itself was AWESOME. The songs were high energy, and Jon’s acoustic performance of Human blew me away. He frequently spoke to the audience and he is honestly so caring and humble, just a fantastic guy. Every part of the experience was great, and I would absolutely recommend seeing Jon live.

I love Jon Bellion but if I'm going to be honest, he isn't the best live show. His pre-show was hard to hear and not nearly the same type of music as him. I tried to sing along to his songs but couldn't hear a word he was saying. I think the background music was too loud. This made his event less appealing. Some of these issues may be due to the building. It was definitely not the right fit for his concert...

It was the best first concert experience! I got to meet everyone but Jon Bellion but it's alright :) I will next time!! I met DjRhetorik, Travis, George, Aunt Lorraine, and the rest of the band! I had a blast and bought one of The Definition t-shirts! It was amazing im so hyped it's gonna be so dope! So much love and fun radiates from them, all good vibes and they're great people!

Jon bellion has put up one of the best shows I've seen, he is so hype about being on stage. He was putting on an amazing concert even when his friend was in the hospital, he sent a message to him and to me me that seems very thoughtful on his part. He makes the concert worth going to, I would get more tickets if he came back to Tampa. Over all he is one of the best artist to see live in concert!

It was an absolutely amazing concert - the best I’ve been to so far. The atmosphere at the concert was truly incredible, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard as many sing a long to his songs.
Even if you know all of his songs, you’ll be surprised throughout the whole concert, and it’s an experience I’ll never forget.
Get a ticket for a show, if you’re able to - just a helpful tip.
