On today’s episode, we are fired up to introduce Kon, an independent powerhouse from the vibrant music scene of Nashville, Tennessee. Seamlessly weaving together the threads of alternative, R&B, and hip-hop, Kon started his deep dive into music at 19, digging into the nuances of the industry and fine-tuning his own sound. His venture kicked off with a personal touch—collaborating with his brother, JayU, on their debut project, "Rough Draft."

Initially drawn to hip-hop through his love of poetry, Kon has evolved his style into what can only be described as a complete embodiment of musical expression. However, as with many independent artists, Kon faces the ongoing challenge of securing funding while keeping tight hold of his creative reigns. He’s a staunch believer that independent artists can reach the same heights as those with big-label backing, at least until costly hurdles come into play.

Undeterred by the challenges, Kon is on the hunt for an agent and is busily preparing to launch his own line of merch. Upcoming releases promise to dip further into the rich sounds of R&B, offering fans an exciting glimpse into his expanding artistry. Kon is definitely an artist to watch, redefining the boundaries of what it means to be an independent creator with every beat he crafts and every lyric he pens.
