About Me

I'm a Solo artist, singer/songwriter,working with audio visuals, inspired by heart, soul and energy in music to move people. I'd like to think that this lends itself to the type of songs that i write and how I feel when I perform them. My lyrics are full of the type of feelings tied to love, unrequited love, yearning, new hope and the expression of my underlying soul.------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- I've been writing, producing and performing for over 10 years, ever since a canoeing camping expedition, totally unlike 'Deliverance', where someone taught me three chords (G A D) under an Icelandic tarpaulin and around the campfire. All a bit 'Ray Mears' I know, but at the time it was as if those 3 chords made more sense to me than anything else at that point, and my epiphany ensured that i would pour my life and my experiences into my songs and music from there on in.--------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------ I Studied Music Production at Newcastle College and worked at the The Nerve Centre in Derry for a number of year creating soundtracks for short films and animations, leading me into other adventures in sound recording, production, audio-visual, multimedia, live performance and a variety of freelance work. Moving to Scotland I gigged exstensively with my band 'The New Locals', and also as a solo artist. I competed and won the coveted title of the String Jam's Young Musician of the Year, where I recorded and lauched my Debut EP - 'Chocolate Bars and Movie Stars' - to a sold out audience. Recorded & Produced with Dave Angus formerly of Big Sky Studios, and now the Davey Angus Sound Company, all thanks to Allie Fox at the String Jam Club. More recently I was crowned the Ards International Guitar Singer/Songwriter 2008, where I won an Avalon Guitar, courtesy of Ernie McMillan, and am looking forward to some more studio time. ---------------------------------------- I'm now living in Belfast, singing all over Northern Ireland, and am involved in a number of freelance projects. I am working towards recording 'the long awaited', and altogether, entirley overdue album. A body of work which I am looking forward to hear...very soon! 11,000 Layouts! @ HOT FreeLayouts.comCONOR'S ROOM, My Space?
