Los Angeles has brought yet another talented artist to the surface — Holly Conlan. Currently touring with singer/songwriters Sara Bareilles and Cary Brothers, Conlan is building quite the fan base. She has already been noticed for the single "OK," off of her EP Bird, which made its debut on multiple television shows. Conlan's melodic voice and tasteful piano playing relentlessly draws in listeners. Having a classical composition background, her musical creations have turned into more of an indie-pop feel.

Last year, Conlan released her LP, Fascinator. The 13-track album shed a different light onto the artist's abilities. With lyrics that convey deep insight into her emotions and musical arrangements that reveal her roots, the album is evidence of Conlan's maturing disposition.

Conlan has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with many other talented artists previous to Bareilles and Cary Brothers, such as Katy Perry and Colbie Caillat. As this singer/songwriter gains more exposure, she is sure to gain the ears and respect of all those who give her music a listen. Stemming her notability from 2007's CMJ music festival, it'd be a shame to miss out on this artist on the rise.
