About The Artist

Brian O’Connor has been a working musician for many years. Starting on the guitar at age seven, he quickly realized that this is what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. Brian started performing on the world famous Steel Pier from ages ten through sixteen as a solo act. He was also in many different bands during his teen years, playing high school dances and any gig he and his band could get, just to perform. He continued to add songs to his repertoire and later in his solo career, booked himself as knowing well over two thousands tunes to request from. Brian also studied other instruments such as piano, bass, drums and sax. At age fourteen, Brian recorded his first record which he wrote and performed all the vocal and instrumental tracks using multi track recording. At age sixteen he won his first song writing contest sponsored by WPIX radio station in New York with a song he wrote called  "Sunshine". He was also featured in Cashbox Magazine.

 A few years later, Brian was a winner in the American Songwriters Festival. That was when he recorded his first album titled “ Chestnut Grove” which was featured on local radio stations and the Joe Franklin TV Show.

        Brian has performed all over the country in various night clubs, thousands of private parties and in many casinos in Atlantic City such as Caesars and the Sands. He also sang on radio commercials. Still performing, Brian prefers spending more time in the studio writing and recording new material.and teaching his many guitar students. His new CD is some of Brian’s best material. His sense of harmonies and guitar work are outstanding. The title "Diversified Works" truly says it all.  A feel good album with eleven original songs written and performed by Brian.
