Interview with Confidence Killion!

A couple days ago I got a chance to catch up with Confidence Killion, an amazing recording artist from Detroit, Michigan. After speaking with Confidence Killion and listening to his new single, "All Or Nothing" it's clear that Detroit is back on the rise musically!

 

 

Charisma: How long have you been interested  in music and when did you realize you had a passion for it?

 

Confidence Killion: I've been told that I was interested in music from my mother the moment I could I hear sounds. When she was pregnant she placed her headphones on her stomach while music would play and because of her doing that, I would kick rapidly in her stomach every time I heard music or singing coming from anywhere. I first realized music was my passion at age 7 during my very first talent show at Pepper Elementary School singing "Any Day Now" by my favorite artist Luther Vandross. It was my first time in front of an actual audience. The reaction and energy that I received from everyone gave me the best feeling I'd ever experienced and I knew from there on I wanted to perform for the rest of my life. 

Charisma: If given the opportunity to collaborate with any artist, who would you choose and why?

 

Confidence Killion: If I had the opportunity to collaborate with any other artist it would be Usher and Ariana Grande. Usher has been one of my favorite artist since I can remember. His range and vocals are so dope to me, and I admire the fact that not only can he perform well on stage, he also sings and delivers great vocals at the same time.  Ariana Grande is my second choice because I really love the way she delivers vocally on her songs, she commits every time. I think we would sound really great together. 

 

Charisma: Who or what inspires you?

 

Confidence Killion: I get inspiration from multiple artists. I enjoy discovering what makes different vocalist so great at what they do and applying it to myself while yet still making it my own. When it comes to my writing I use past and present experiences that have occurred in my life. I also find inspiration from other peoples situations like friends, family and people on social media.

 

Charisma: What inspired your new single, "All or Nothing"?

 

Confidence Killion: The inspiration for my single "All or Nothing" came from a past relationship that I was in. This song was actually recorded not too long after our split. During the time of the relationship, I felt like everything was at a stand still, things weren't getting better nor were they getting worse and I simply wanted more than that. That's where the phrase "give me your ALL OR NOTHING" came from. 

 

Charisma: Do you have any upcoming performances?

 

Confidence Killion: Right now I'm mainly focused on finishing my EP Album and making sure everything turns out amazing. I want my next performance to showcase of all the hard work I've done and the new music I've created in best way possible. 

 

Charisma: Where can all of the music lovers listen and download your music?

 

Confidence Killion: I actually just dropped my debut single "All Or Nothing" on soundcloud at https://soundcloud.com/confidencekillion/all-or-nothing

It's available for free download
