Directed by Ellie Vellie, “Energy” takes viewers into the world of relationships, arguments within those relationships and how in fact, those relationship can turn toxic.
“2020 and COVID-19 has exposed a ton,” CONY says.
“Breakups, heartache, toxicity, hurt and just overall frustration. We tried to embody that in the most creative way possible.”
A RocNation artist, CONY, who’s real name is Marcony Saint-Juste has garnered praise from hip hop pioneer and POWER 105 The Breakfast Club’s DJ Envy after being featured in his website as an emerging artist.
While Energy” is CONY’s latest installment, CONY began writing poetry and turned his poems into song lyrics and found a passion for music and entertainment after the death of his grandmother years ago. “Music has always been an outlet to express how I feel,” he told writer, Landon Buford earlier this summer.
A Carteret, New Jersey native and a graduate of Carteret High School, CONY has been active during the summer. In June, he released “Black Lives Matter,” a visual curated in response to the murder of George Floyd in Minnesota back in May.
While music is his passion, so is philanthropic work. A product and graduate of the Pathways mentorship program, a program which provides extensive awareness on substance abuse prevention, bullying prevention, safe driving, suicide prevention, healthy relationship development and future planning, CONY was visiting the program regularly and speaks to students about passing the torch to the next generation. He has the ear of students within the program and has even performed music in concert and in front of Carteret, New Jersey Mayor Dan Reiman.
CONY’s looking to continue to push the baton and even further his relationship with the mayor and his hometown as his profile continues to grow. “It’s a must, he tells The Source Magazine.
“I’m thoroughly excited for the future.”
