MUSIC: Top New York singer is Olympia bound

Jon Bellion

JON Bellion will visit Europe for his first headlining run in March 2017, kicking off in Oslo, Norway before arriving at the Olympia Theatre on Wednesday, April 12.

The tour will be highlighted by Bellion’s first headline shows in London, Paris and Amsterdam.

The announcement comes a month before the second part of Bellion’s second sold-out national North American headline tour in support of his debut album ‘The Human Condition’.

The New York-based singer, songwriter, musician and producer is touring in support of his full-length debut, The Human Condition (Capitol Records/Visionary Music Group), which recently entered the Billboard 200 at No 5.

 ‘All Time Low’, the first single, was launched at Pop radio with some of the most influential stations adding the track.

A fan favourite that topped the Billboard Twitter Emerging Artists chart, All Time Low has more than 60 million streams.

The video for ‘All Time Low’ was shot during Bellion’s sold-out summer tour. His performance of the track on ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ was a brilliant star performance.

The Human Condition earned a spot-on Billboard’s list of the ‘Best Albums of 2016’.

Complex praised Bellion’s new music as “nothing short of impressive.”

Forbes observed, “Jon Bellion is a new kind of pop star” while Time praised his “smooth pop vocals over pulsing hip-hop beats.” “It’s only a matter of time before he becomes a household name,” predicted MTV.  

Bellion got his start with a series of mixtapes featuring his original songs – all recorded in his parents’ basement.

He built a remarkable following by sharing his music directly with listeners, giving away more than 200,000 free downloads of 2014’s ‘The Definition’ and playing live for fans on two sold-out national tours.

His songs have more than 207 million streams collectively across Spotify, YouTube and SoundCloud. The Human Condition is his first-ever commercially released collection of songs.

Also a sought-after collaborator, Bellion co-wrote and produced ‘Trumpets’ for Jason Derulo and co-wrote the Grammy Award winning, Platinum hit ‘The Monster’ for Eminem and Rihanna.

He also contributed vocals to Zedd’s ‘Beautiful Now’ and B.o.B’s ‘Violence’.
