Music Nation is a Music Video Competition for Independent Artists

WITH AN INCREDIBLE DRIVE AND A WELL FOCUSED MIND, ONE OF CHICAGO'S FINEST KALLION BRINGS TO THE TABLE A BRAND NEW FLAVOR AND THE REAL DEFINITION OF WHAT IS CALLED GOOD MUSIC. KALLION, A 25 YEAR OLD CHICAGO NATIVE IS ON HIS WAY TO STAKE A SOLID CLAIM AS ONE OF HIP HOP'S GREATEST. HE IS SOON TO BE THE NEW SOUND, STYLE, AND CULTURE OF TODAY'S AND TOMORROW'S HIP HOP. BLESSED WITH A CREATIVE PASSION SET ASIDE FOR A CHOSEN FEW. THE RAPPER/PRODUCER/FUTURE ENTREPENEUR HAS A GIFT SO POWERFULLY INSTINCTIVE THAT IT IS AS NATURAL TO HIM AS THE AIR HE BREATHES. KALLION USES THIS GIFT THROUGH HIS BEING AND BECOMES IT. THIS IS THE INTENSITY FOR WHICH HE EXPRESSES HIS EMOTION FOR LIFE, THE PEOPLE IN HIS CORNER, AND OF COURSE HIS MUSIC. HE GOT HIS START BACK IN THE SECOND GRADE WHEN HE DISCOVERED HIS PASSION WRITING AND RHYMING FROM WATCHING HIS OLDER COUSINS. HE PROGRESSED AND BEGAN MAKING BEATS WHEN MOST WERE STILL PLAYING HIDE AND GO SEEK ON THE PLAYGROUND. FROM THE KNOWLEDGE HE GAINED FROM HIS FATHER, WHO'S A LEAD BLUES GUITAR PLAYER(CARLOS SHOWERS SR.), TAUGHT HIM WHAT REAL MUSIC IS REALLY ABOUT. HIS FATHER ALSO TOLD HIM THAT "IF YOU PRODUCE YOUR OWN MUSIC, YOU WON'T HAVE TO PAY ANYONE TO MAKE YOUR TRACKS FOR YOU". EVER SINCE HE HEARD THOSE WORDS, KALLION HAS HAD A REAL PASSION FOR PRODUCING. BESIDES RAPPING AND PRODUCING, KALLION HAS ALSO ATTENDED COLUMBIA COLLEGE, CHICAGO TO STUDY THE MUSIC BUSINESS. HE'S ALWAYS HAD DREAMS OF SOMEDAY HAVING HIS OWN LABEL "SHOCKIN' THA WORLD RECORDS". HE HAS A SPECIAL EAR THAT HELPS HIM CREATE HITS THAT COULD DOMINATE GLOBALLY. HE WISHES TO USE THIS GIFT TO CREATE AND MOLD OTHER UP-N-COMING SPECTACULAR STARS SUCH AS HIMSELF. AS YOUNG AND MOTIVATED AS HE IS, HE COULD ALREADY BE ONE OF THE GREATEST FIGURES IN HIP HOP. HIS MUSIC SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
