Conor Molloy is a musician from near Manchester, UK. His music tells stories – instrumental and lyrical – and he’s known for weaving dark themes into chirpy tunes. With a background in French literature, Conor enjoys exploring the interplay of form and meaning by exploiting the tensions between words and melodies.
Since a young age, Conor has written and performed his own original songs in front of audiences both very small (in his family’s living room) and large (the Royal Albert Hall). He has collaborated with teams of writers, podcasters, and researchers across the UK to produce new music for live theatre, audio and video production.
In 2021, Conor was awarded a DYCP Grant from the Arts Council, England to work on a self-produced debut album of his own songs.
You can listen to some of Conor’s music on Spotify, SoundCloud, and Apple Music. And if you’re interested in collaborating, get in touch.
Conor takes inspiration from the likes of Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens, Bob Dylan, Nina Simone, Paul Heaton, Kirsty Maccoll, Tracy Chapman, Leonard Cohen, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Pete Doherty, Alex Turner, Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens, and various poets.
