For Connor Musarra, creating is not a choice. It’s a compulsion.
Since the ripe age of 14 when he opened for the legendary mashup artist and producer Girl Talk at Webster Hall in New York City, the music in his mind has come into the real world at a constant rate, and in a plethora of different forms, the most recent of which is his album, Pure.
Currently based in Los Angeles, Musarra has implemented his high-volume approach to make his mark all over the world of music. Beyond his own extensive list of releases as an artist, collaborating with names like TiaCorine and ZelooperZ as well as GRAMMY Winning writers like Nate Fox, he’s produced original tracks for everyone from the internet personality Trisha Paytas, to major sporting events like the Super Bowl and the World Series, and even promotional videos for NASA (his reach also extends to Newsweek and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver both of which covered him when he broke the internet for impersonating Tesla on Twitter).
In 2021, though, this unending stream of music took on a new form in his “Song A Day” challenge, which, as simply as it reads, meant Musarra produced, wrote, and performed an original song every day for a year and shared them all on social media.
A challenge he placed on himself, and a challenge he completed, in the midst of those 365 days, sharing constantly destroyed the barriers around his creativity, eliminating any ruminations on external factors like the opinions of others. Within this challenge, he had a few hours to produce and share a song. All he could do was create from a genuine place. There was no time for anything else.
Now Musarra only shares from that genuine place, and many of these genuine creations were included in his “Steal This” series wherein he made different kinds of samples and loops and shared them on social media for others to rework into their own music. Not only did this challenge lead to millions of views and tens of thousands of creators using his music in their own songs and videos, but it also connected him with top-level artists like Jaden Smith, Polo G, Babyface Ray, and Logic, the last of whom he has music in the works that will soon be released.
