About Me

Frank O’Connor was born in County Cavan, Ireland and started his musical career at the age of six. He has an innate talent as a pianist and has mastered other instruments including the tin whistle and guitar. He is a renowned composer, winning several awards in International Song Contests.With his life-long ambition to perform in the United States, Frank gave up his job as a law enforcement officer to follow his dream.O’Connor’s signature style was noticed during a performance in Orlando, when he was invited by Universal Studios to perform for the grand opening celebration. His opening night performance resulted in a contract with Universal and his first solo album “Frank O’Connor Live.”O’Connor is an extremely versatile artist with a charismatic personality who has turned his musical style into an International export. In addition to recording a number of CDs, O’Connor wrote and recorded the soundtrack for the movie “Ivory,” which appeared in the 1998 New York Independent Film Festival.His newest release, “Journey to Tir na nOg” A Celtic Odyssey showcases his broad talent. With its bewitchingly melodic instrumentals, this collection of haunting songs instantly transports the listener to “Tir no nOg” – The Land of Eternal Youth.O’Connor views his musical gift as just one facet of his larger life mission: “I believe I am one with all things in the universe, on planet earth, all men, women and children, the oceans, plants and animals, all energy patterns seen and unseen. I wish to share this sense of oneness with my brothers and sisters through my music, words and actions. I thank God for this wonderful mission.”
