Catch Of The Week: Taylor O’Connor
Meet Taylor O’Connor from Grafton, MA
Berklee College of Music student Taylor O’Connor is a soul singer at heart. Her runs seemingly come natural. It’s her vocal breaks and songwriting prowess that take this talented 20 year old to the country.
Taylor learned to love music early on, and found her way into musical theater in school. That kept her happy for a while, until she realized she could do it all on her own; write, sing and perform. Now, she performs all over New England and in Nashville. The video for her latest single was recently shot in Nashville.
There’s no doubt we will be hearing and seeing much more from Taylor O’Connor
