Connor Myers is a talented country singer and songwriter hailing from Garwood, New Jersey. He discovered his deep passion for music while serving in the Marine Corps, a journey that began when a fellow soldier generously lent him a guitar. After completing his military service, he returned to New Jersey, took up a job at a local chemical plant, and devoted his spare time to writing songs that resonated with his experiences. 

His wife, Sarah, played a significant role in his artistic journey by encouraging him to pursue greater opportunities in Nashville after she heard his moving song “Overseas,” which poignantly highlights the unique challenges faced by military families. While balancing his duties as a police officer in Franklin, TN, Connor achieved a major milestone by signing his first artist deal, allowing him to fully embrace his music career. In 2022, he experienced a spiritual transformation, embracing his faith and transitioning into a Christian country artist, focusing on creating music that authentically shares his beliefs and inspires others.
