Sleepy, funny story. The picture you used for 'You've Got To Go' when you posted it on your channel I actually got it blown up into a poster. That photo holds a special place in my heart. I love that picture in general but the fact that its connected to your channel as we'll as the 'You've Got To Go' remix which is actually the first track I ever heard by Seven Lions looking at it reminds of some of the best times of my life. Hard to explain but wanted to share that. Thanks for all you've done over the years as well Sheepy!

A random guy at a club in Miami I met back in 2018 had a Seven lions tattoo and I asked him why he had a lion on his leg and he told me it’s a dj he’s loved for the longest… he introduced me to you and I was breathless in that moment, since then I haven’t stopped listening to you and going to watch you at Ultra and EDC. Thank you Jeff! You’re INCREDIBLE ❤️ thank you so much for your up lifting music 😭😭

SEVEN LIONS FAN HERE SINCE SPRING OF 2014!💙 I first heard your music when it randomly played on Pandora. I'll never forget what song it was, "Strangers". After that I checked out more of your music and fell in love with it all. A few months later, I found out you were coming to my hometown. I WAS SO EXCITED! So, I saw you for the first time on December 26th, 2014 for a show in McAllen, Texas called "Winter Fantasy" along with Botnek and Headhunterz. After that show you literally became one of my favorites. A couple of years later, i realized that you had become my all-time favorite! It's so amazing to had seen you grow and just how far youve come. Seeing you headline most shows/festivals now makes me so happy. I've seen you multiple times now and there has never been a time I don't want to see you. Much love, Jeff! Keep being you🖤🤍

@STORYTXLLXR 2 года назад

First time meeting you was 2013. You were an opener for Krewella’s Get Wet Tour along with Candyland. Javan tried giving you a shot of Jameson on the bus but she made you laugh with her “Troll voice” and it went out your nose. I’ll never forget this memory. Thank you for being there in a time when I EDM was going to be a huge part of my life! OPHELIA FAM FOREVER

Hands down my favourite music producer. Recently saw him perform at EDC where his set was nearly cancelled and I will forever cherish the memory of running back into a desecrated Kinetic Field crowd to the sound of Reason for Fighting. Core memory material.

Been here since the beginning of your Seven Lions persona. I've been fully emersed ever since. They say every artist needs to find their own style that makes that standout. The bar you have set is like no other. Your unique storytelling is like no other. We don't just relate to the lyrics but your music matches our emotions on the same wave length. It's so hard to describe... All I have to say is thank you for all that you've done and don't stop creating.

I met you from a Minecraft animation that had one of your songs, more precisely "Rush Over Me". So I looked for that song and that's when I found you and from that day on you became my favorite DJ. And with you came others like ILLENIUM, Far Out, Mitis, Last Heroes, HALIENE, Crystal Skies, Trivecta, Nurko, Jason Ross, Slander, etc. You were a bridge to this musical genre for me, I love you very much and keep it up 👍❤️🎵

@kakarotblake 2 года назад

Your music has honestly changed my life. I've been following your journey since pretty much the beginning. The You've Got To Go remix is the first song I ever heard of yours and I was absolutely blown away by it. Goosebumps. I still remember listening to it for the first time. I've been hooked on your music ever since. Not long after that you released the Days to Come and Polarize EP's which are still my two favorite EP's of yours. Polarized is my favorite song of all time. 2013 I saw you live for the first time in Toronto and it was one of the best sets I've ever seen. I've seen you countless times since and I will be seeing you again in 3 weeks time at Escapade in Ottawa!! And to top it all off you'll be playing 2 sets in the same day! Can't wait!! Much love

@coolmug85 2 года назад

It is wild that I’ve been listening to you for 10 years, yo! Genuinely, I’ve never been as dedicated to any artist in my life. Might sound kinda weird, but I feel truly lucky to be alive at such a time to experience the originality of Seven Lions. It has truly been an honor and a pleasure to put on my headphones to jam out on a new release when it comes out (not to mention keeping old stuff on replay). Thanks for giving us a glimpse into what it has been like for the last 10 years, but I’m really looking forward to at least 10 more. -The dude that got you to sign a Latro in the Mist book in Houston

This is just crazy to me. Its weird to see all these accomplishments from this man and then go see him during an Ophelia show and him shake my hand while I'm in the crowd. Its insane knowing that this man of many wonders has actually been in physical contact with me. Its just beyond any words.

@OliverrRjD 2 года назад

I've been listening to your music for the last ten years. I remember hearing "Tyven" and being blown away. I have seen you live 7 times so far and every time its the best show ever. At one point I got addicted to opiates and your music brought me back. Been clean for 10 years so thank you dude! My girlfriend even jokes and says you would leave me for Jeff in a heartbeat LOL

@MassiveTrackHunter 2 года назад

Your remix of Still With Me, from Soto and Tritonal is still the Best Track. Took a very ethereal Track and created a devastatingly sick Dub out of it. Listening to the original and then yours, is the best way to see what a legit remix should be. Total transformation without insulting the original. Hearing your Tracks killed me back then, and still do.

@gettinjiggyvibez5059 2 года назад

I started listening to you about 6 years ago when I was in high school. The first song was silent skies and I was automatically in love with you. I thought it was beautiful, I started getting more and more into you, started listening to your older music and I’ve been a fan of you ever since then. Your music is absolutely beautiful and holds a special place in my heart. You’re one of my favorite artists, and I thank your music for making me feel something I’ve never felt before. I’ll see you at Red Rocks, my first time being there and seeing you and I’m beyond excited. Thank you Jeff

Strangers was my introduction to melodic dubstep, and honestly melodic music period. It was how I found my place in electronic music, and felt something I was passionate about. Couldn't be more grateful to have witnessed the entire rise since I found that song, and the influence it has had on my love for music and my entire life. So proud and so much love to you Jeff. Thank you for everything. To the next ten years!

I've been following you since 2010 actually when you released Luna and Deep Divide songs. I'm still waiting for one day when you release a full LP. My dream would be to hear for you a story in that LP not just a few songs put one after another. Seven Lions is not just a music compilation. You're like a book that I want to read from start to an end and hear the story in every single song. Your EPs like Seven Lions EP, World's Apart, Creation, The Throes of Winter. These are the ones that just blown me away and I'm listening to them for this day. You just showed me a world of Melodic Dubstep and I thank tou for that. For me you're the best music producer ever. PS. I love your melodic dubstep creations mostly but it's just a personal preference. I wish to see a LP from you with lots of emotional dubstep songs. I hope I will see that day

It's amazing that this docuseries will tell your story since so many of your fans want to know

I first found your remix of Velvetine - the great divide which instantly blew me away! After listening to more of your own creations like Keep it close, Nepethe, and my personal favorite Summer of the occult, it just changed my life. I felt like I once in my life had the power within me to change something with myself and that music kept pushing me to new heights in life, after being at my lowest point ever. You've changed a life without even realizing it and I'm really grateful I found out your music! First time live was also one of my most cherished moments I have! (Electric Brixton 2019). Hope you'll come to Europe again! All the best! Your work is simply flawless!

My fiancé and I plan on having first time (covered by violin) played out our wedding reception. There are no amounts of words that can describe what your music has done for me over the years and I can't wait to see what more masterpieces you have in store for us! Hopefully one of which will be a 2 hour set a some point, fingers crossed.
