Agrona O'Conner

Agrona O’Conner is a Leicester-based singer-songwriter blending blues-rock and soul with Oklahoma Red Dirt influences. Inspired by Etta James, Aretha Franklin and Beth Hart, her music combines powerful vocals with honest, thought-provoking storytelling. Her childhood included time in foster care and children’s homes, and later periods of homelessness. Those experiences inform her songs about identity, belonging, independence and finding your own path, without defining who she is. Her original releases include Unfiltered, Changes and Ripples. Her music has received BBC Introducing airplay, and she has performed at Leicester’s Peace & Love Festival and historic Guildhall. Her forthcoming single Runaway Train explores the battles we fight within ourselves. Reviews: (Music Arena GH) “passionate vocal and gritty lyricism” (TopMusic.News) “A soul-stirring journey into authenticity.” (Plastic Magazine) “infectious songwriting and stellar performance” For Agrona, music is about challenging perceptions and changing the world, one drop at a time.
