PASADENA, TEXAS: Nick Connors, 21, is a famed singer and songwriter. After appearing in 'America's Got Talent' Season 14, the Pasadena native is all set to impress the judges with his melodious voice on 'American Idol' Season 22.

Nick became viral on social media at a very young age. When everybody was investing their time in playing basketball, Nick was singing songs at the top of his lungs. He used to perform the national anthem for various sports teams around Houston.

Nick is no stranger to fame. He has nearly 650,000 followers and more than 3 million likes on TikTok as well as 98k followers on Instagram. He recently released his new single 'Sayin' Too Much'. Apart from this, he has also produced several other original works.

He says in his bio that he "utilizes his rare vocal talent to harness the superpowers of his biggest influences." He is influenced by Adele, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, and Chris Stapleton.

"Connors aims to bring an appreciation for raw talent back into the mainstream, and leave fans with pure inspiration, confidence, and belonging; all the things that his idols have left behind for him," says his bio.
