From Timmins to Talent: The Rise of Keadon Carium

At just 17 years old, Keadon Carium has become a name that echoes throughout his hometown of Timmins, Ontario. Known by many for his kind personality and customer service at the local Canadian Tire gas station, Keadon has also become a rising local celebrity in the rap and music scene — building a powerful story of passion, persistence, and raw talent. Keadon’s love for music began during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. He found inspiration in Reece Brunke, whose true-to-life rap style ignited a spark that led Keadon to explore his own voice and creativity. What started as a simple love for listening soon became a personal mission to express his own truth through music. Despite facing challenges growing up — from financial struggles to personal setbacks — Keadon turned his circumstances into motivation. Living with his mom, sister, and pets, he learned to use music as an outlet, transforming hardship into art that connects with listeners on a deep, emotional level. In just a year, he has built an impressive following, earning over 4 million views on YouTube and nearly 40,000 subscribers, while also becoming a verified artist on BandLab. His dedication and authenticity have made him one of Timmins’ most talked-about emerging artists. Keadon’s upcoming single, “Descending,” set to release November 1st, showcases his evolving vocal talent and artistic growth. Each new track and video shows his drive to outdo himself — a clear reflection of his ambition to rise above every challenge. “There’s not much recognition for rap in Timmins,” Keadon says, “but that just pushes me harder to make a name for myself and open doors for others like me.” With his humility, talent, and unbreakable work ethic, Keadon Carium isn’t just putting Timmins on the map — he’s proving that greatness can come from the most unexpected places.
