Daniel O'Connor

Music has been my life for as long as I can remember. From starting piano at the age of 3 to becoming a versatile musician with years of experience in the industry, I’ve always had a passion for creating and bringing music to life. Whether I’m mixing a track or laying down some guitar licks, my goal is simple: to always deliver the goods and get the job done right.

Though I’m best known for my guitar playing, which I take very seriously, I’ve had the privilege of working with a variety of instruments throughout my career. Over time, I’ve become proficient in multiple areas, and guitar remains my primary focus.

I was fortunate enough to attend college where I studied music and had the chance to explore a wide range of genres, including Classical, Jazz, and Fusion guitar. But at heart, I’m a rock guy. It was also during my time in college that I discovered my love for sound engineering, which led me to dive into recording and mixing. This is where I really found my stride, and since then, I’ve been lucky to work with and learn from some of the best in the business.

Along the way, I’ve also had the opportunity to contribute to a number of projects as a ghostwriter,player,and producer, helping bring songs to life for artists all over the world. It’s been an incredible ride, and I’m grateful for every step of the journey.

Right now, my main focus is on live music, and I’m having an absolute blast traveling, experiencing new places, and connecting with amazing people along the way. While I’m always writing and recording new music, it will be a little while before anything is officially released. If there’s a strong demand for new material, I may dive into it more seriously. In the meantime, the best way to stay updated on what I’m up to is by signing up for my email list or following me on my social media channels linked above. Thanks for all of your support!

"I would recommend hiring Mr. O'Connor as a qualified multi-instrumentalist. I have been impressed with his guitar playing, piano playing as well as his competency on bass guitar. he has a good tone and a feel for guitar-especially electric modern rock style. I suspect in the right place at the right time, you have the guitar chops to fill big shoes if someone of national stature was to hear you. Given your youth, I suspect he will do big things if he continues to be humble and seek to never stop learning."
