How Jon Bellion Changed Music Forever, Then Walked Away, And Why He's Now Returned (Ep. 22)

Behind The Wall

Jon Bellion invited me to interview him in his recording studio

Jon Bellion invited me to his home for a conversation that completely changed the way I see music, success, and creativity. We talked about everything - from writing some of the biggest songs of all time for artists like Justin Bieber, Maroon 5, Halsey, and Rihanna, to stepping away from the spotlight, becoming a father, and finding his way back to music on his own terms.

But this isn’t just a comeback story. It’s a story about values. About redefining success. About why being a present father is more meaningful than any award, and why sometimes, stepping back is the only way to move forward.

💡 This conversation is for YOU if:
🔥 You’re an artist, creative, or dreamer feeling stuck or burnt out
🔥 You’ve ever struggled with pressure, perfectionism, or self-worth
🔥 You want to understand how one of the greatest musical minds really works
🔥 You’re trying to find balance between ambition and a meaningful life

We get into The Human Condition, the making of Glory Sound Prep, his new album Father Figure, and what it’s like to build a cinematic world with music. We talk about faith. Family. Vulnerability. What it really means to create something that lasts. And why you need to strike out in order to be successful.

From six years of writing behind the scenes to returning with a message that being a good dad is cool - this is the most impactful conversation for creatives yet.

I truly believe this interview will change people’s lives because it changed mine. Thank you Jon, for your honesty, your heart, and for trusting me to help you tell your story. I’ll never forget this one.
