New Music This Week

Just added to the Fox playlist — Sombr “Back to Friends”

Fun facts:

His real name is Shane Michael Boose.  He went with “Sombr” to acknowledge a rough period he was going through at the time and also because it happens to include his initials – SMB.

He’s just 20 years old and grew up in New York.

He was a theatre kid and admits he was “obsessed” with Dear Evan Hansen.

He writes all his own music and has also produced songs by himself as well.  He says he’s more productive on his own because he can be more vulnerable in his songwriting.

Sombr was nominated for three MTV Video Music Awards in 2025, and he won one for Best Alternative Video for “back to friends,” making it his first major award!

He is nominated for “Best New Artist” at the 2026 Grammy’s.
