Portrait by Alexei Hay. Brooklyn, New York. 2016. 

Connor Leimer is a New York-based musician, songwriter and record-maker. Born in Kansas City and raised on the DIY music scene, Connor’s love for music began at age 7 in his weekly drum lessons with his Brazilian drum instructor Luiz Orsano. It was there that Connor discovered his natural sense of rhythm that uniquely informed his songwriting and by 13 he was penning a new song each week on his dad’s 70’s Guild acoustic guitar. Connor’s talents quickly grabbed the attention of the music industry in Nashville and Los Angeles as well as the fashion industry in New York City. By 19, Connor graced the cover of Visual Tales Magazine shot by legendary Vogue photographer Arthur Elgort, performed at The Recording Academy’s Grammy Museum at L.A. Live and cut his teeth in the studio with Nashville’s top session players. By 21, Connor independently released his celebrated ‘Brooklyn’ EP produced by Grammy-Award winning producer Matt Rollings, mixed by Michael Brauer at Electric Lady Studios and premiered with a music video directed by auteur Warren Elgort, starring Victoria Lee. At 22, after a chance meeting with Josh Rouse, the pair collaborated on 2019’s ‘Mouth Words’ EP produced and cowritten by Rouse, one of Connor’s major influences. In 2021, Connor teamed up with East Nashville producer Kyle Dreaden to release ‘Like My Mind’ EP. The collaboration would ultimately lay the ground work for Connor’s highly anticipated full length album ‘Writing Copies’ released in the fall of 2022. The 10 song LP features the singles ‘Back From Japan’ and ‘Fashion Magazines’ and is mastered for vinyl by the legendary mastering engineer Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound. Now 26, Connor writes from a personal place often hidden away in the small corners of his New York apartment. In this way, the American songwriter makes a hobby of capturing the zeitgeist of New York City while channeling the solace of cities like Nashville where the artist came to be.
