Tell us about yourself and your music
I’m a singer, songwriter and SoundCloud producer and music is what I feed my soul to give me purpose on this earth.
What is the SoundCloud URL of your latest single?
soundcloud.c…connormstock
What inspired you to write this release?
That feeling when you lock eyes with someone else who totally gets you, even if nobody else in the world does. And… the resurgence of disco!
Describe the writing and recording process.
I cowrote and coproduced this song with my dear friend August Mez, who is featured on vocals as well. We got into the studio and started telling a story, and then broke into two writing rooms. August focused on the melody while I focused on the bass line, and the rest of the project came together organically after that.
Any plans to release a video? Include the SoundCloud link if available.
All plans went out the window when the world fell into chaos!
Any plans to hit the road? Include any tour or concert dates, times and locations.
I barely hit the road outside my house these days, but I am considering doing a virtual show of some kind.
As an indie artist, how do you brand yourself and your music to stand out from the rest of the artists out there?
That is one of the hardest things for me. I trust my gut, and battle my brain when it tries to derail my authenticity. Put myself out there and see who vibes.
Who have you been listening to lately?
Lady Gaga, Elton John, and The Weeknd! Also Dua Lipa hits so hard.
Who are your biggest influences?
I grew up loving 80s hair metal and 60s blues music, and it wasn’t until recently that I started getting into modern production. Lady Gaga is a huge inspiration of mine. So is John legend, Childish Gambino, The Weeknd, Bruno Mars. The list goes on and on.
Tell us about your passions. Besides music, what gets you out of bed in the morning?
Writing, creativity, coffee, and of course the day job demands often force me out of bed…
What is happening next in your world?
I’m working on some new music, and trying to balance that with a TV show I’m cowriting as well! (And of course that whole day job thing)… But in all seriousness, I’m trying to practice gratitude each day for all that I have, when so many in the world have so little, and are suffering so much. Beyond that, it’s all icing on the cake to me!
