Nora Conlon is a freshman at the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU. She started playing at open mics when she was in sixth grade after she learned how to play the ukulele. From there she picked up on guitar and hasn’t looked back. During the school year, you can find her in the recording studios at NYU, and during summers you’ll find her playing all around the East end of Long Island. Her sound has an indie folk rock vibe, with influences from Irish folk music, Bossa Nova, and American Jazz. She is inspired by contemporary artists like Hozier, Mitski and Big Thief, as well as rock icons like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Radiohead. She likes to work with unexpected chord progressions and melodies, and has a voice that has been compared to Sarah McLachlan, Ingrid Michaelson, and others.
