Bollywood superstar Salman Khan took a break from the action on his film set to shine a spotlight on a young international talent, 15-year-old American singer Jonas Conner. Known more for his on-screen charisma, Salman surprised fans by using his social media to share his admiration for the teenager’s soulful songs. The unexpected gesture has now become a talking point online, with many eager to know more about the rising artist who's made it into Salman’s playlist.
On September 14, Salman posted a photo of Jonas Conner on both Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), writing an emotional note about the young artist’s ability to channel his pain into music. In the caption, he listed three of Jonas’s tracks, Father in a Bible, Peace with Pain, and Oh Appalachia, and said he’s been listening to them on repeat. “Never have I seen a 15-year-old turn his pain into something so beautiful,” Salman wrote. He added a heartfelt message urging people to support young talents like Jonas, especially those who create with honesty and emotion, saying, “Aisey bacchon ko na support kiya toh phir kya kiya.”
Who is Jonas Conner?
Hailing from a small town near Chattanooga, Tennessee, Jonas Conner is a singer-songwriter mixing country and folk styles with deeply personal lyrics. Though he recently turned 16, Jonas gained popularity as a 15-year-old after releasing original music that touched listeners across generations. His breakout single Father in a Bible, released independently in late October 2024, tells the story of growing up without a father figure. The song struck a chord with audiences and gathered over 2 million streams within a month.
Jonas’s journey into music began under challenging circumstances. At the age of 12, he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, which altered the course of his life. Initially a sports enthusiast, he turned to music as a way to process his emotions and communicate his experiences. By 13, he was writing his own songs and sharing them online. Today, he has amassed over 3 million Spotify streams, 521k followers on the platform, and a strong presence on social media, including 485k followers on TikTok and nearly 500k on Instagram. His emotionally charged writing and raw vocal delivery have led many in the music industry to call him “the future of country music.”
