Salman Khan Spotlights Teen Singer Jonas Conner on X, Lists Tracks He Has on Repeat

His post pairs the shout-out with a plea to encourage, not exploit, young talent.

Overview

  • Khan named three songs he is replaying—Father in a Bible, Peace with Pain, and Oh Appalachia—and praised Conner’s ability to turn pain into art.
  • He urged audiences in a Hindi note to support young artists—“Unhe encourage karo exploit nahi.”
  • Reports describe the Tennessee-based singer’s country-folk sound and cite strong streaming numbers, including over 2 million plays for Father in a Bible within a month and millions of Spotify streams overall.
  • Coverage notes conflicting details about Conner’s age, with some outlets calling him 15 and others saying he recently turned 16.
  • Khan is currently in Ladakh shooting Battle of Galwan, and the Lt Governor’s office shared photos of their meeting, providing context for the timing of his endorsement.
