History

Early life

Aaron McCain was born in Chicago, Illinois on March 1, 1989,^[4] but was raised in Atlanta, Georgia.^[5] At the age of 13, McCain found himself in the middle of a terrible automobile accident. Being able to walk away from the accident unharmed let McCain realize how sensitive life really was. From this, he began to seek God and by the time he was in high school, he began rapping for him.^[6] After high school, McCain attended Bible College at Memphis where he met Derek Minor and Lecrae, who helped guide him into starting his music career.^[1]

2009–present

After being mentored by Lecrae and Derek Minor, McCain began working on his first music project. His 2009 mixtape, The Great Investment, was McCain's first professional release.^[7] The reviews from the album made Canon an instant hit with fans across the globe. After the success of the mixtape, Canon appeared on Lecrae's Rehab: The Overdose album and other

project from Reach Records.^[6] In 2011 Canon signed a music contract with record label Reflection Music Group, to which Minor was signed. McCain later released the EP, Loose Canon in 2012 and followed that renowned release with his first studio album Mad Haven in 2013.^[1] In 2014, McCain saw his first chart success with his album Loose Canon Vol. 2 which reached 101 on the Billboard 200.^[3]

Canon suffered a broken jaw, shattered ankle and a concussion from a fall down a ravine on December 20, 2014.^[8] Canon and his manager, Brandon Mason, had attempted to help someone who had crashed their car. As gasoline spread, the man inside tried to start the ignition; afraid it would blow up, Canon jumped over the guardrail, not seeing the ravine as it was dark. Some sources say he fell down a {{convert|20|ft|adj=on}} drop, whereas others (including Canon himself) say {{convert|40|ft|adj=on}}. He has since recovered and has performed and released a few songs.^[9][10]
