It's so amazing to have witnessed your journey as Seven Lions from the very beginning!
Here's to many more years ❤️

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 😭😭

[Skyline]

I only realized I have been around since the beginning, and early SoundCloud days when this video went that far back. What a decade of memories.

[STORYTXLLXR]

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

I started listening to seven lions back in high school 10 years ago and I really have fallen in love with the music.

No words can compare to how lonely the world feels when you are placed where you are - thank you Jeff for sharing your music withe the world.

Love from Philippines ❤️

I just wanted to say, thank you for creating your track, Strangers. I haven't stopped listening to it since 2015

[ClementCheng]

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.

Seven Lions make me fall in love with melodic dubstep and I just realized that this guy can give me goosebumps. For the first time ever music gives me a different experience

[MassiveTrackHunter]

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.

[JosiahRises]

I love your music man, it speaks deeply to me and I am always looking forward to what's next!

[foxxriderr]

Days to Come...the start of a journey that has continued to evolve into something beyond imagination, time after time, track after track.

[meLTem]

The world is so much brighter with you. 💜💚

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🖤🤍

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.

[gettinjiggyvibez]

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

[TheChazas]

huge lover since Isis and remix of Florence And The Machine - Cosmic Love. 10 year anniversary indeed, damn. Thank you Jeff for your unique and sublime music.
