Timmins Teen Builds Music Career from the Basement Up

Timmins, ON – Seventeen-year-old Keadon Carium has quickly become one of Timmins’ most talked-about young musicians, not because of major-label backing, but because he built his career from nothing but determination and gratitude. While working part-time at the Canadian Tire gas station, Keadon spends his free hours writing, recording, and producing his own songs. “I’m thankful people even listen,” he says. “I built this from scratch — every song, every video, it’s all me learning as I go.” Inspired by rapper Reece Brunke, Keadon began creating music during the pandemic, eventually earning millions of online views and a verified BandLab account — achievements that mean even more knowing he did it without outside help. His new single “Descending,” releasing November 1st, highlights his growing confidence and heartfelt sound. Despite his online success, Keadon remains a local at heart. “I’ll never forget where I came from,” he says. “This community helped me more than it knows.” Stream & Follow: Spotify @keadon_carium YouTube @keadon_carium Instagram @keadon_carium
