How’s life been treating you?
It has ups-and-downs but life is good.

How do you respond under pressure?
Sometimes I know getting panicked doesn’t help the situation, so I try to keep my cool.

A nice office, filled with creatives, enjoying the craft.

At the moment it’s singer/songwriter/producer Jon Bellion, the man makes moves.

Just create, do not overthink!

It’s a way of life.

What has been your experience with Dream Crusher Media, Artist Intelligence Agency and Dirtyfrequence?                                                                                                They are good companies, they had great communication!

How would you describe the music that you typically create?
Edm with genre bending aspects.

What is the music scene like in the Netherlands?
Most of the music in the Netherlands is EDM and dance, in my opinion, we’re the biggest export of DJ’s and EDM music.

How do you seek out new opportunities?
Contacts are key, I just love small talk with other people and creatives. If something happens its nice, if not  have a new friend.

That’s a good one, depends on my mood. One day I’m totally into Hip-Hop, other days I’m into classic rock, its wide.

I’ve learned that people barely washed their hands.

Jon Bellion for sure!
