One thing I enjoy about blogging is venturing into genre’s I wouldn’t typically dabble with. Since I was first introduced to Jon Bellion, I have tried and tried to pinpoint an artist to compare him to. I’m yet to find one. He is too unique.
Long Island native, Jon Bellion prepares for his debut project under his newly inked deal with Visionary Music Group. After sparking a legitimate amount of buzz with his cover of Drake’s “The Motto“, Bellion returns to the music he was previously accustomed to creating; original compositions. Written and produced by the 21 year old himself, Jon exercises all of his musical talents, while his distinguished voice is really what shines brightest. Camera work credited to VMG’s own, GRVTY, who follows Jon through the winding wilderness in a slow motion shoot. Stay tuned as Translations Through Speakers will be dropping free later this fall.

Cover, Pop, Videos | Jon Bellion – The Motto (Drake Cover)

It’s my pleasure to introduce the newest artist represented by Visionary Music Group, Jon Bellion. At 21, Jon has proven to be a very talented musician, crafting his own art by writing, recording, mixing, and mastering all his own original music. With blossoming artists Logic and Tayyib Ali on the same roster, the Long Island native will attempt to establish himself in the blogosphere with a distinct pop sound, as his predecessors have done with hip-hop.
Although cover songs are rare for Jon, who typically composes all original material, he decided to spin Drake and Lil Wayne’s crowd pleasing track, “The Motto” in hopes of warming up to the hip-hop heavy blog scene. While the term “YOLO” may be overworked and overused at this point, Jon brings a refreshing set of vocals to the microphone and transforms this track from a club hit to a very mellow pop cover. He will be following this introduction video with three completely original singles along with his debut mixtape “Translations Through Speakers” later this year.
