Since beginning as a studio session vocalist for American Greetings over two decades ago, Connor can be heard on hundreds of singing cards. From animated Halloween<\/a> cards for the holidays, to full scale live action remakes<\/a> and even one of the highest selling physical cards<\/a> in Walmart and Target history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beginning in 2018, American Greetings, the world's second-largest greeting card producer, began collaborating with celebrities of all genres on \"Celebrity Smashups\", live action E-cards filmed live on location in Los Angeles featuring remakes of classic top 10 songs wishing Happy Birthday greetings to one and all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The cards feature advanced technology that allow the sender to personalize each one for the recipient's name, age and even a special birthday shoutout. All seamlessly integrated into one full scale production. These cards start out as songwriting demos, and end up months, or even years later as polished Hollywood level vignettes in which Connor is involved from the very beginning. From singing multiple possible demos of the new song, to recording the scratch track for the celebrity to learn from. All the way to the final sessions where over multiple grueling in-studio days, over one thousand names are sung and recorded in key to be inserted into the final product. Backing vocals are sung as well as all harmonies, or even a full multi track barbershop quartet! The celebrity arrives in the end to do their part, with solo vocals and filming. Here are some recent Smashups Connor has worked on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Idina Menzel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n From Broadway's RENT and Wicked, to Disney's Frozen, this remake of \"FAME\" required all harmonies, and all 1,000+ names to be recorded in studio<\/p>\n\n\n\n
