About “Light Shine In” - from Conor Gains:

"Like a good fire needs air, every relationship needs air to breathe. The line 'I need space, not destruction' is about people not knowing how to take space for themselves. We get co-dependent, and this song is about finding fullness within yourself first.

ABOUT CONOR:

Selling out shows at local venues since he was 13 and even catching the attention of the late Les Paul who invited him to play on stage at the famous Iridium Jazz Club in NYC, are the exact moments that just seem to find Conor Gains.

Now, with thousands of shows around the globe under his belt, including the prestigious Montreal Jazz Festival, the award-winning artist from Cambridge, Ontario has caught his stride with his debut EP Three, co-produced with Mike Wise (Ellie Goulding, James Blunt) and out now via Wax Records.

Already creating a massive buzz across Canada and the US, it is clear that there was a lane ready and waiting, for an artist like Conor Gains. As real and raw as it gets, Conor is the true definition of a road warrior, playing close to 200 shows a year. Now with a team behind him, the right music, and the right moment - this singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist (violin anyone!?) and producer is quickly becoming known as Canada’s next big thing. Authentic, organic, and out-of-the-box, Conor Gains has no desire to follow the pack. This is definitely a journey you will want to follow.
