In this episode, I hang out with K.O.N. He is an abstract hip-hop artist and producer who allows his sensitivity to guide his creative vision. We talk about the cryptic nature of music and its appeal over being understood. Sometimes the feeling is more important than the subject matter. He recommends new artists to be consistent in their efforts and create everyday. Stating that what you do behind closed doors is most important. Greatness always shines through so be yourself no matter what. He describes the struggles of going from a full time college student to a full time artist. Coming to terms with what an aspiring artist looks like. Strategies for overcoming self pity, self blame, and turning it into actionable steps to succeed. You can support him by streaming his music, going to shows, and buying merch from his artist collective called Inner Circle.
Influences like OutKast, D’Angelo, Kanye West, Young Money, Eminem, and Weird Al Yankovich. His favorite venues to play are The East Room and Vinyl Tap. Enjoy!
