Robert O'Connor

Robert O’Connor is a Dublin-born singer, songwriter, and producer known for crafting emotive,
cinematic electronic-pop that bridges the gap between nostalgia and innovation.

In 2025, O’Connor’s album 'Swimming Against The Tide' marked a creative high point, earning
critical acclaim and surpassing 200,000 streams across platforms. The record’s sophisticated
blend of ’80s-inspired synth-pop and modern production cemented his reputation as one of
Ireland’s most consistent and self-driven independent artists.

A lifelong pop architect, O’Connor followed it with 'Night Tides: The Chillout Collection' — a
spin-off project inspired by his love of chillout music — before venturing into bolder sonic
territory with 'Clubwav Continuum', a one-hour continuous DJ-style mix reimagining the songs
from 'Swimming Against The Tide' through the lens of ’80s sophistipop, ’90s dance, and
contemporary electronica.

The project brings together producers Gareth Shortland (Steps, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Will
Young) and Jordan Arteaga for the first time, alongside contributions from Sakgra, Tee Webb, and platinum songwriter Gordon Pogoda — an ensemble of collaborators unified under O’Connor’s creative direction.

As a fully independent artist, Robert O’Connor has built a catalog defined by artistic growth,
resilience, and attention to craft — blending extended mixes, evocative visuals, and emotionally
charged songwriting into a sound that feels both timeless and forward-looking.

With 'Clubwav Continuum', O’Connor reaffirms his commitment to innovation — inviting listeners
to step into his world, where pop and electronica flow together in one seamless wave.
