Last week, eclectic genre-defying artist, Cannon, released "College Friends"! The song features gritty, acoustic guitars under smooth vocals that ebb and flow with an effortless flow.
Cannon blends elements of alternative rock, hip hop, and garage pop. Of this song, he confides, "when I graduated from college, I found myself worrying about whether I was sacrificing too much time chasing my goals to spend time with my friends or sacrificing too much time with my friends to chase my goals. I soon came to realize that in trying to be two places at once, I ended up nowhere. Part of the process of graduating and growing up for me has been learning how to decide where to allocate my time."
Cannon is a 24-year-old artist from South Carolina. He began to develop his sound through recording himself in his dorm room at Boston College, drawing on his acoustic guitar and the hip-hop/R&B he bonded over with his friends to create a unique, organic blend of rhythms.
