"I make music that speaks to people, through my music I aim to inspire and encourage. I want to be a voice for those that hold everything together in life, but are struggling on the inside."

- Conor McLain

Conor was born and raised in Ireland, with a deep love for music. From attending church as a child and listening to the soulful sounds of choirs, to being inspired by powerhouse vocalists.

As Conor grew older, he began to appreciate modern-day musicians like James Arthur, James Morrison and Mumford and Sons. He then started to develop his own unique style that combined the soulful, powerful vocals of his childhood inspirations with a modern sound.

Despite his fear of rejection and failure, he pushed himself to share his gift with the world. His music is a reflection of his personal journey, with deep, soulful, and raw lyrics that are both reflective and progressive.

He hopes that it can help those who feel like they have something special to offer, but have been held back by the world around them or even themselves.

Conor McLain is an Irish singer-songwriter whose music has quietly built a devoted international audience — one rooted in emotion, storytelling, and connection rather than trends.

Conor’s music has been featured on BBC Radio in both the UK and Ireland, and his catalogue has surpassed 2.5 million streams, driven not by viral spikes but by consistent, repeat listeners who return song after song. His audience doesn’t just listen - they stay.

Beyond streaming, Conor has built a direct relationship with fans worldwide, selling thousands of records and tickets independently while retaining ownership of his audience and creative direction. This approach has allowed him to grow sustainably, without shortcuts, and to connect deeply with listeners across borders.

In 2026/27, Conor embarks on his most ambitious chapter yet with the Better Plans Tour, his largest international tour to date, marking a clear step forward in both scale and confidence - and cementing his reputation as a compelling live performer with a truly international footprint.
