He is currently signed to Visionary Music Group and Capitol Records. Bellion also opened the concerts from the third leg of twenty one pilots' Emotional Roadshow World Tour, which also featured guest artists Judah and the Lion.
Strictly a producer at age 14, Bellion became increasingly fed up with being asked for generic records. After literally giving singing and rapping "a shot" out of frustration, the now 32-year-old Bellion has developed an incredibly unique lane untouched by anyone. His obsession with moving forward and experimentation has driven him to create "solid and refreshing tunes", and in the words of Jon himself "that's all that really matters"
Jon's 2010 mixtape "Scattered Thoughts Vol. 1", an exploration of different genres all written, composed, produced, and sung by Jon, is available to download from his official site: http://www.jonbellion.com/
Bellion has since released three more mixtapes: Translations Through Speakers, The Separation, and The Definition.
His first album 'The Human Condition' was released on June 10th, 2016; his first piece of music that was sold instead of given for free. His second album "Glory Sound Prep" was released on November 9th, 2018. His single, "Crop Circles" was released on May 31, 2019.
Bellion embarked on The Glory Sound Prep Tour which began on June 12 and concluded on November 12 of the same year. He helped produce and write singles such as "Stacy" and "Life Must Go On" by Quinn XCII, as well as "Liar" and "Shameless" by Camila Cabello, "Graveyard" by Halsey, and "Memories" by Maroon 5, "Holy" by Justin Bieber, featuring Chance the Rapper. Bellion co-wrote multiple songs on Justin Bieber's Justice album, including the hit song "Ghost", which Bellion says he wrote about his late grandmother. The song reached #1 on US Pop Radio. He also co-wrote and co-produced "Vulnerable" from Selena Gomez's 2020 album Rare and co-wrote "Daisies" by Katy Perry.
On June 8, 2021, Bellion took to Twitter where he tweeted "New music" before quickly deleting the tweet. He then changed his social media into a "blacked-out" state a couple of weeks later. Jon was featured on Lawrence's song "False Alarms" released on July 22, 2021. Bellion released his first single in over 2 years, "I Feel It" (with Burna Boy) on September 17, 2021. On February 19, 2023, Bellion released an unfinished song called "Fallen" to his social media. The song features Jon Batiste.
In July 2019, Bellion launched his own record label called Beautiful Mind Records and signed the pop/soul band, Lawrence. Lawrence was the opener for most of his shows on the Glory Sound Prep Tour. He helped write and produce three singles off of their 2021 debut album Hotel TV: "Casualty", "It's Not All About You", and "The Weather".
Bellion has stated that his intention with this new label is to "take care of artists for the rest of their careers" and to create a family of musical creators who he supports and with whom he collaborates.
Bellion has stated on multiple occasions that Kanye West is one of his biggest inspirations. "I loved everything but it was Kanye West who really changed everything for me." Bellion has also stated that he was inspired by Eminem, Pharrell Williams, Coldplay, John Mayer, André 3000, and Paul Simon. Bellion has also made it known that he is a big fan of J Dilla and the animated film studio Pixar, drawing inspiration from the musician and computer animation film studio for both The Definition and The Human Condition. Bellion explains that he loves how Pixar movies are "simple yet presented in a way that is groundbreaking". Bellion credits much of his musical development and success to his bandmates whom he met while in college, expressing his love for them in his "Beautiful Mind Documentary" stating, "Everybody in my band has taught me something, and has gotten me to where I am because of them" continuing "I surround myself with people better than me at something, you will very rarely see somebody around me, especially musically, who I don't look up to".

Jon Bellion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You might have been hungry
I might have said something
You might have done nothing
You know you still love me
I might have been wired
You probably need coffee
I know I keep chips on my shoulder like dips so come get it off me
Come say sorry with your body
Come say sorry with your body
Come say sorry with your body
Come and dance with me
I'll say sorry with my body
I'll say sorry with my body
I'll say sorry with my body
Come and dance with me
Come and dance with me
I want to get
I want to get
You crashed in my car
I fucked up vacation
I tried to change this
And you tried to change that but it's just in our nature
I desperately care
You're hopelessly on me
I tried to stay pissed and you tried to stay mad
'Til I grabbed your hips softly
Come say sorry with your body
Come say sorry with your body
Come say sorry with your body
Come and dance with me
I'll say sorry with my body
I'll say sorry with my body
I'll say sorry with my body
Come and dance with me
Come and dance with me
I want to get
I want to get
I want to get
Close
Let me get close
Let me get close
I want to get close
Let me get close
Let me get close
Come say sorry with your body
Come say sorry with your body
Come say sorry with your body
Come and dance with me
I'll say sorry with my body
I'll say sorry with my body
I'll say sorry with my body
Come and dance with me
Toda la era con cadera que todo va pagado
I want to get
I want to get
I want to get
In "Couples Retreat," Jon Bellion invites his lover to come open up to him and communicate their feelings through the language of the body. He acknowledges their past mistakes, such as him being tired and saying something that hurt her or her being hungry and doing nothing to address it. Despite those minor conflicts, they still love each other, and he knows he needs to let go of the negative energy that he carries on his shoulders. The line "sorry with your body" emphasizes the idea that physical touch can be an apology that heals emotional wounds.
Jon describes how they have made a mess of their vacation and how they have tried to change each other instead of accepting their differences, as it is part of their nature. Nevertheless, he admits that he desperately cares for her, and she is hopelessly in love with him. In an attempt to break the ice and mend things, he gently grabs her hips, a gesture of passion and affection, while inviting her to dance with him.

@Almeidank
i think it says
“Toda la hera con cadera que esto va pa’ ‘bajo”
The translation would be
“All the Hera with hips ‘cause this is going down”
like I said in the comment above^ doesn’t make sense BUT
Hera is the goddess of women, marriage and family in the greek mitology, that’s all I know
p.s. i’m learning english so if my comment has a mistake, let me know
@oishiksaha5780
It's crazy how he can combine genres, layers, and guitar grooves so seamlessly.
@dd22yeezzzus
He truly is a master of his craft.
@Zuleva_Official
Only problem is most of his background that sounds like instruments is his voice
@malachipenalver6992
He got the flow. I started to make music on groovepad following his flow because it's so amazing.
@davidlong4025
Why are so many people sleeping on Jon, he should have 20 Grammys and 50 platinum records
@vithud3777
Cause mainstream likes people who can't speak probably and mumble all the time
@outknocker7142
david long pretty basic human behavior actually.
Music with less message is easier for the brain to handle and the brain always usually goes the way off less effort.
That’s how we survived a long time ago.
Now you have to make a conscious decisions to not do the easiest every time you’re in front of a choice.
@giftapfel
@@outknocker7142 I think if that was the truth then literally everyone would just listen to mumble rap. I choose to listen to this because it doesn't sound like shit, doesn't make me special.
@lmaoimmacow7677
He said "don't call me underrated I don't wanna be famous or somthing along the lines of that in one of the songs in this album I can't remember tho
@giftapfel
@@lmaoimmacow7677 Yea he said he likes being the underdog and would prefer not to be crazy famous.
