A 2018 Emmy nominee for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Once Upon a Time), Cindy O'Connor is an accomplished composer and performer for film, television, and theater. She combines her love of musical theater, orchestral music, pop/rock, and electronic textures to create unique musical worlds for each project.
Her musicals include All That He Was, winner of the Kennedy Center/ACTF Festival and published by Concord Theatricals; La Llorona/The Crying Woman (Off-Broadway); 40 is the New 15 (NoHo Arts Center); and the recent Chicago hit parody, Flies! The Musical (Pride Arts Center).
TV credits include seven seasons of the popular ABC series Once Upon a Time (with Mark Isham and Michael Simon), Crash (Starz), The Black Donnellys (NBC), and several Hallmark romantic comedies. Her feature film scores include the dark comedy Forgiving the Franklins (Sundance), Deany Bean is Dead (Amazon Prime), Red River Road, and the thriller Not Forgotten, starring Simon Baker.
Cindy spent four years touring as a keyboard player and singer with rock superstar Pat Benatar, and she has performed as a singer and choir director with a capella genius Petra Haden at the Ford, the Getty, and David Byrne's Meltdown Festival in London. She serves on the SCL Board of Directors where she runs the Los Angeles Mentor Program.
She is grateful every day for the chance to collaborate with talented artists to tell stories that touch people's hearts and explore the wonders of the human spirit.
