FinalistBio
Being born blind and autistic, my hope is by sharing my story, I will continue to create and expand Awareness, Acceptance, and Inclusion within The Arts FOR ALL.
I am an actor, musician, and singer living in St. Louis. Since discovering my love of the arts at age 10, I have performed in over one hundred musicals, plays, operas, recitals, cabarets, and revues in school, youth, and professional organizations.
My passions are opera, musical theater, national anthems, jazz, and classical piano. My dreams are to be a symphony guest soloist, a voice actor, and a music educator for individuals with disabilities. I am a composer and storyteller with comedic timing and an amazing whistle. A few skills I was born with make me a Savant; these are highlighted in the “Press” sections of my website www.hollyconnor.com
