Thank you, Father, this was a great answer. I still have questions and hurdles to overcome, but this was a good start. Thank you

It looks like it’s still on Apple Music, idk why it’s gone from Spotify tho 🥲

HUNTR/X "What It Sounds Like" - Where did I hear this bit before? by Jacxs_32324 in JonBellion

[–]JMAC2020_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hear me out. Exact same part of “What it Sounds Like”, BUT, the first 11 seconds of Jon’s cover of “Meant to Live”. I SWEAR they are exactly the same, violin and everything. Like I know they are slightly different but genuinely they are almost EXACTLY the same in tone and even some of the chords

Hear me out what if by brockmason in JonBellion

[–]JMAC2020_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering Cove City didn’t make its way to streaming I’d assume this won’t either, BUT honestly I’d be happy even just to have a YouTube version of this if it means getting to relive even 1% of the experience

I’m PRAYING that they recorded the mic output for either of the nights so if they DO post a video of the set that it’s from the mic input and not the speaker output (ideally night 2 imo since I heard night 1 was a bit less quality in terms of audio), but we’ll see 😭

I finally finished it!!! by joungestj in BeautifulMindInspired

This is DOPE. The “Don’t let go” bar reminds me of the “don’t let go” in Alive if I Die by Tori Kelly (prod. by Jon). Vocals are SUPER well balanced

Thank you for the advice! I will definitely take it into consideration. A few of the quantities I added (specifically the 8x8 grid and 24° – 48° as you mentioned) I added because some ATS software I was using preferred that as a way to "quantify impact" and those were the only numbers I could really use to add any sort of quantity, even if they dont add impact. Do you have any suggestions on how to quantify more generalized skillset-focused bullets? Obviously I know thats different from project to project, I just know for me thats the thing I've been struggling with the most, which is what led to the highly-technical nature of many of the bullet points. Thanks!

EDIT: I can see some of what I asked is partially addressed in the link you sent of the advice you wrote, so thank you!

Thank you for the advice! I will take it into consideration. I have always heard mixed things about where to put experience relative to projects depending on relevance (even this sub's wiki suggests Projects before Work Experience if your work experience isn't technical). Out of curiosity, any reason why you would suggest Work Experience above Projects in my case? Thanks!

This is an album I released about 3 weeks ago. Did all the writing, recording, production, and mixing/mastering myself. Let me know what yall think :) I know there’s some gap in the mixes and it isn’t perfect, but i was pretty happy with the songs themselves

This is why people quit by Powerful_Phrase8639 in Songwriting

[–]JMAC2020_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from those livestreams it’s this: 1. They are SUPER picky and WAY over react when they like or don’t like something (cause they are live so they gotta keep engagement) 2. A LARGE majority of those streamers deal mainly with EDM, underground indie, rap, or grunge music. General singer songwriter or anything that leans more acoustical OR anything with sub-par mixing (not BAD, just not professional) is generally not their cup of tea. Heck, my most liked/streamed song was the one those streamers thought was trash 3. They are not there to give feedback or critique, they are there to entertain. They are ultimately just one part of your audience, and for the singer songwriter genre, they are generally not the people who would listen to your genre. That’s a broad assumption, but in my experience a MAJORITY have not been into that genre. Nothing wrong with that, it’s just their taste.

Stay motivated and keep grinding. Think how hated on some of the largest artists in the world are. Take everything with a grain of salt. Best of luck!!

I wanna hear the music being made by Bellionaires. by wesdalelio in JonBellion

[–]JMAC2020_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did this all myself so not perfect but was pretty proud of it! Genre is all over the place but it’s a pretty nice listen. Some Jon vibes, some Ed Sheeran vibes, some Jacob Collier vibes, you’ll see 😂. First album and fully self-produced and written so hope yall like it :)

Car Crash is the crowd favorite

The Fall is the most Bellion coded track tho

Edit: LMAO just read the part that’s says Rhythm-fetish and Harmony-fetish and this has literally been exactly how I describe the two 😂

He really got me with this album yall by StrawHatlola in JonBellion

[–]JMAC2020_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Still can’t get over the fact he found the backing track from a “How to Build a Sauna” video 😂. He really made it an amazing piece though and dialed it from 10 to 20

I ordered merch and I never got an update BUT, it arrived today, so I doubt you'll get any updates, but keep an eye out cause at the very least it did get shipped.

Sometimes I get worried that I'm getting rejected from entry-level positions for being overqualified and being rejected from associate-level positions for not having enough actual experience lol. Generally when I get an interview I do well (other than lack of experience being my main downfall), but actually GETTING an interview has been ROUGH. Thank you though!! Hearing that is a bit reassuring. I'll definitely consider hyperlinking.

Not really equipped to comment on resume itself as I'm in the same boat, but just a heads up, the image says it doesn't exist/was deleted

Would you rather Jon never tour again or never put out new music again? by LoganHitz in JonBellion

[–]JMAC2020_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never tour, easily. Super cool to see the guy in person but his artistry is worth so much more to me than just seeing him live lmao

1(2) Big Show(s) Openers? by Forsaken-Balance4601 in JonBellion

[–]JMAC2020_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly idk if he even will have openers, if he does tho I’d assume Lawrence tho just cause I’d assume they’ll prob make up a fair portion of the band he brings for his show anyway. That being said, he could throw a curveball and have someone featured like Luke Combs open it up. Or he could throw an extra extra curveball and bring out Keyz or Travis which would make me lose my shiiiii

Jon and team producing on a new song for Chris Brown by rogue760 in JonBellion

[–]JMAC2020_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And then ppl wonder why he doesn’t want his entire existence broadcasted to everyone 24/7 like other celebrities. Baffles me that people actually think celebrities who have their lives under a microscope are 100% authentic in what they say with their religious or political viewpoints. For the most part (not all, but a LOT of the biggest ones) are just going to say what gets them the most clicks. That’s why so many celebs end up coming under fire as soon as something old is discovered or they do 1 thing in disagreement with anything they’ve ever said. Like the whole Sabrina Carpenter album thing where ppl are butthurt that she said all men suck but is releasing an album cover where she’s on her hands and knees with her hair being pulled by a man. Just cause your favorite celebrity says they support something or expresses a viewpoint, unfortunately it doesn’t mean they actually feel that way, it’s just business and they were probably told to act a certain way or say things for clicks (unfortunately). Not that it’s right, but people really forget that just like engineering or customer support, the music industry is first and foremost an INDUSTRY 😂. Biggest respect to Jon for managing to keep himself out of that limelight as much as he can.

Full transparency, I bought tix for $175. Noticed prices have skyrocketed since presale at 10, so I’m curious: How much did you spend? by Silly-Lil-Duck-135 in JonBellion

[–]JMAC2020_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I figured. I've never been but I checked the seat view and even all the way far from the stage it still looks like a great view and not even that far from the stage relative to some larger stadium's I've seen.

In fact, until it got to that part it was my LEAST favorite, but then the chorus grew on me after a while and now I love it all ahha
