““I believe this to my core, there is no best musician, best artist, best dancer, best actor,” Jon said in his acceptance speech. “The creative arts are subjective and they reach people at a point in their lives when they need it most. It’s like a song or an album is made and it almost has a radar to find the person when they need it the most.”

After thanking his family, friends, and team, Jon gave a sweet shout-out to his fellow nominees.

“I actually love and have had an out of body experiences with your music,” Jon said. “I honor you. This is for real artists, real musicians. Let’s just keep going: Be you.”

Along with Album of the Year, Jon also won Best Music Video for “Freedom,” Best American Roots Performance and Best American Roots Song for “Cry,” and Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media for the Disney movie Soul.
