Jon Connor & XV Meet At A3C Festival For The First Time(Exclusive)
During our A3C excursion, we had the pleasure of running into Jon Connor before he hit the stage & XV. The two had never met formally prior to A3C so it was an honor for us to have the opportunity to ask both of them a few questions. Yes, Jon Connor actually took time to answer a few questions before hitting the stage but then again, A3C is all about networking.
Jon Connor is preparing to release to “Vinnie Chase Season 2†& states that he put his heart and soul into the project. Judging from his performance, fans will really enjoy “Vinnie Chase Season 2.†Also, Jon Connor spoke about his first festival experience, which was SXSW this year. XV is working on his album, “The Kid with the Green Backpack,†which he is working on with Just Blaze. The reason that XV was at the show on Friday night was to check out a few shows not as a competitor but out of respect as a fan.
