Con Killion is a recording artist from Detroit, Michigan. Inspired by the legendary Motown roster, his reflective songwriting is largely influenced by his romantic relationships and childhood experiences. Killion quickly developed poise as a performer from participating in local talent shows and acting in plays at his church.
As a high school student, Killion faced bullying from upperclassmen that threatened to damper his generally outgoing personality. With the help of friends, family, and church, Killion vowed to always strive towards a greater sense of strength and courage – a commitment that helped coin his nickname “Confidence”.
Killion later began creating music with his songwriting collaborator and business partner Marcus Mims (Jason Derulo, Carson Lueders, Shari Marie, Elle Winter). In April 2020, he released his debut EP Red Flags, an 8-track concept project loosely based on real life challenges with his ex-partner “Keri”. Following early editorial support from streaming services, including a summer selection for iHeartRadio’s Digital Artist Integration program, Killion is preparing to build upon his DIY success with new music and visuals aimed to establish him as a formidable newcomer in the R&B space.
