Early life

Clinton Kane Talabis Concon was born on 26 November 1999 to a Filipino father and a Norwegian mother. Kane's father, Lilioso Concon, was an aircraft mechanic of Royal Brunei Airlines and his mother, Edna Concon, was a Pentecostal pastor. Due to his mother's occupation, Kane has lived in Greece, Brunei, England and Las Vegas.\n

Kane is a self-taught singer and multi-instrumentalist, and grew up singing in church. He pursued a path that blended music and travel. Kane quelled growing anxiety and stress into song and in 2016, began uploading covers and subsequently original songs onto his YouTube channel.\n

Career

Kane was signed to Columbia Records in 2019, with the label declaring the artist a \"huge talent\" with \"powerful vocals\". Kane relocated to Los Angeles and released the 5-track EP This Is What It Feels Like.\n

In December 2019, Kane released \"So I Don't Let Me Down\". Upon its release, Kane said that song is about having to accept the fact that life is constantly changing – for better or worse.\n

In 2020, Kane provided vocals for Dutch DJ Martin Garrix's single \"Drown\".\n

On 19 February 2021, Kane released \"Chicken Tendies\", which peaked at number 83 on the UK Singles Chart and 88 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Kane told Billboard that the song is \"about accepting things and relationships I can't change\".\n

On 20 August 2021, Kane released \"I Guess I'm in Love\", which peaked at number 22 on the UK Singles Chart and 90 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.\n

In August 2024, Clinton Kane became an independent artist, parting ways with Columbia Records.\n

Controversy

On 26 June 2024, Brooke Schofield, co-host of the Cancelled podcast with Tana Mongeau, alleged in 13-part TikTok series that Kane was an \"extreme pathological liar\" during their six-month relationship in 2021. Among a list of other allegations, Schofield alleged that Kane lied about the deaths of his mother and brother, of which were the subject of the lyrical themes in many songs in his discography. Schofield also alleged that Kane was never born in Australia, but is in fact from Brunei, and provided audio of him speaking privately with Schofield, notably with his Australian accent being missing. The TikTok series garnered over 50 million views in its first 24 hours.\n

Response

In a statement to J-14, Kane's representatives refuted Schofield's allegations, claiming: \n

Brooke's recent comments regarding Clinton are untrue.\n

Clinton was born in the Philippines, and lived in Australia for a time as a child. Despite moving frequently, he considers Australia to be his home. He has never been disingenuous about this.\n

In regards to his mother — Clinton was lucky enough to have a very special mother-like figure in his teenage years, who sadly passed. Clinton regrets the way this devastating news was communicated at the time. Clinton genuinely felt that he had lost an irreplaceable mother-figure. Clinton was and largely is estranged from his immediate family.\n

\nThe public rehashing of these details is only an attempt to bring attention and focus on Brooke’s podcast, at the expense of tearing down another former boyfriend — a tactic she's become known for.
