"Conor was born and raised in Poughkeepsie, New York, where attended St. Peter's Catholic School in Hyde Park for K-8th, and continued his schooling at FD Roosevelt Public High School. Throughout his childhood, Conor was always occupied with sports such as soccer, basketball, baseball and lacrosse, along with being involved in school theatre, and taking guitar lessons with 2014's International Finger-style Champion and singer-songwriter Helen Avakian. Helen was Conor's first major outlet into pursuing music, as she taught him skills in playing guitar, singing, and songwriting. Conor is now
pursuing a degree in Music Industry at the College of Saint Rose in
Albany, New York, where he studies many aspects of the business such as live sound, studio production, publishing, management, and more.
JWill from the JWill Jamboree on KISS 96.1FM once described Conor as a “mix between Shawn Mendes and Michael Buble." Conor takes many of his influences from 90s and 2000s bands such as Matchbox Twenty, Goo Goo Dolls, 3 Doors Down, Lifehouse, and Daughtry; along with classic rock artists like Journey, Foreigner, Bob Seeger; and country acts such as George Strait, Restless Heart, and Zac Brown Band. Conor also finds much inspiration from the storytelling, and soothing aspects of artists such as John Denver, James Taylor, Jimmy Buffett, and most recently Amos Lee.
Conor released his first self-recorded/produced album, “Spend Some
Time,” back in the November of 2017, and released an EP called “By Your
Side” back in May of 2018. Conor’s last release was the single, We Can
Dance, which he dropped in September 2018. Conor is currently
promoting his next EP, “Show Them What You Got,” which will be released
September 27th, 2019, but will be releasing the single for “Yes” early on August 9th. One can find Conor's music on most music
distribution and streaming sites, such as Spotify, iTunes, Google
Play, Pandora, Amazon Music, YouTube, and more.
His song “Spend Some Time” received notoriety as it was featured in
and was a finalist for The Taste of Country Hometown Risers Contest
back in December of 2017. Spend Some Time later helped pave the way
for Conor to win PBS’s televised talent series Celebration of Music
(Troy Division) in October of 2018. Conor will be featured in a
nationally televised concert series put on by PBS, which starts
filming in October of 2019.
Conor is an avid believer that music is the universal language because it expresses emotions better than any other form of communication he can think of. There is a long, rich history of writing and performing music, and Conor feels lucky and honored to embrace a life in which he can be a part of that tradition."
