KONF3KTION is the stage name and artistic outlet of musician Keiko T'rath. Although listed on LUCENT as 'Streampop', Keiko describes their musical style as 'Voidpunk-nanopop-candy-cabaret' and is known for their flamboyant and controversial stage shows. They gained sector-wide fame in 950 A.E. and reached the top spot in the charts on 22nd Exa 952 A.E. after performing their critically-acclaimed hit 'The Covenant' to an impressive crowd at their regular venue Lamentations, at Omni. While they are factionless, Keiko spends most of their time in New Dikamazi, and is on the council for the Bushraki inhabited asteroid as their Ambassador. They lived for a while in Scatterhome and still have a soft spot for it. Keiko is non-binary and uses they/them or she/her pronouns.

Notable Appearances
Song on the Verge 938 A.E. This was KONF3KTI0N's first and only performance of a special immersive piece (almost an aetherscape) especially written for the festival entitled 'Home'. Keiko has commented to the gossip clogs that writing the piece was nerve-wracking as she was conscious of tensions between the Bushraki and the Dominion saw it as an opportunity to '[...]reach out with this song as a gesture of goodwill, so I wanted to write something special and meaningful just for them.' (Keiko T'rath, Deci 943 A.E.)
Winferfest 946 A.E. At this large open-air festival in Tosmar's Winterflame Amphitheater, K0NF3KTI0N debuted their catchy, suggestive and festive hit 'I Want to Get You (In My Giftcatcher)'. Their outfit for the performance caused quite a stir (not least because of the sub-zero temperatures in Tosmar) - it included a tiny playsuit that resembled a winterflame giftcatcher and a headpiece of the SS Ironbeard.
