CTM Publishing tekent wereldwijde publishing deal met Conro

Met trots kondigt CTM aan dat we een wereldwijde publishing overeenkomst met Canadese producer en schrijver Conor Patton, p.k.a. Conro hebben gesloten. Conro heeft al verschillende succesvolle releases gehad op Ultra Music, Monstercat en Revealed Records. Daarnaast heeft hij remixen geleverd voor Afrojack, Fais en Mr Probz. Om wat meer inzicht te geven in wie Conor is, hebben we een kort interview met hem gedaan. 

Can you tell us a bit about yourself? 
My name is Conor Patton, and my artist name is Conro. I am 26, born and raised in Canada. I moved a lot when I was younger so it made sense at the early age to be homeschooled. With that, I had lots of free time to invest into my music. Learning lots of instruments (guitar. piano, violin) Later, I fell in love with Electronic music while still heavily involved with my alternative indie rock band. I set aside my band to fully put my energy into writing Electronic music. As time continues I integrate all those aspects into my music now, which has shaped and developed my own signature sound. I continue to grow and learn with each new song and look forward to what I will make next.

When did you start making music?
I started getting involved in music when I was around 7, being forced to play the violin. But in time, that dislike for the violin turned into appreciation for all types of music. In high school I was really inspired by the guitar skills of John Mayer, he was inspiring for me and my song writing. I also really admire Kings of Leon. They shaped a lot of my music writing early on.

What do you have lined up for us in 2017?
Lots happening this year! An EP with Monstercat, Remix for Martin Solvieg, and Gigs around the world! This year is the busiest yet, and doesn’t look like I’ll be slowing down any time soon. 

If you could choose one artist to write with, who would it be, and why?
I have so many artists I would love to work with, but I guess right now in this moment I think working with Grey would be really great. I really think their production skills are next level insanity. Think we could make something really cool.

What are your ambitions?
I just want to keep focusing on writing great music and see who all resonates with it. I would like to have some big songs on the radio being played out world wide. Also to have the opportunity to meet and work with other great writers that I’ve admired over the years. I think this is all possible, I just want to write music until I die. 

Last but not least, why did you choose to work with us?
I really connected the team at CTM. It was a quick and effortless friendship. Both CTM and me sharing the same vision for my project is the what really sold it for me. Excited to see where we can make this go!
