South African/Canadian multidisciplinary CON THE ARTIST bleeds creativity into anything he touches. From scoring films and producing records, to sound design, video direction and recently a 34-piece orchestra in Greece, CON has his hands in every aspect of his art. With a bold approach and an avant garde vision, his infectious upbeat bops are ready to set off into the stratosphere.
Brand new track, “MONEY (on my mind),” dives deep into the chaotic swirl of thoughts that hit when cash is tight – like when your brain starts buzzing and everything feels a bit unhinged. We’ve all been there, whether it was back in high school, during those broke college days, or just last week. That mental scramble when you’re wondering how you’re going to make ends meet, or if you can even cover the bills – it’s real, and it can drive you a little crazy.
In the music video, CON wanted to bring that internal chaos to life visually. The video is a bunch of dudes in red ski masks jumping around and fighting each other… They represent his brain cells. It’s the battle happening inside your head during those moments of mental mayhem. It was all filmed in CON’s kitchen and living room with some friends.
Here’s a cool tidbit: I started writing this track in LA back in 2022 as an old demo. It was
recorded at Red Bull Studios, and the guitar you hear is actually Albert Hammond Jr.’s from The
Strokes. So, the same guitar on this song was also used on some of The Strokes’ classic records… That’s a fun nugget for me. – CON THE ARTIST
