  • Bio

    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."..............T SHIRTS FOR SALE.................... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .......................... .. .. .. .. .......................... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .......... .. .. .. .. ...................... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..............
