He gained widespread recognition in 2025 with the TikTok viral singles "Back to Friends" and "Undressed," both of which became top-40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and achieved international charting success. His highly anticipated debut album, 'I Barely Know Her', was released on August 22, 2025, featuring his popular tracks "back to friends," "undressed," and "12 to 12." In 2025, sombr was nominated for three MTV Video Music Awards, winning Best Alternative Video for "Back to Friends," and embarked on his first sold-out solo tour across North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. He also made his live television debut on shows like The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and was featured on Billboard's annual 21 Under 21 list. Known for self-written and self-produced music that explores themes of young romance and heartbreak, sombr continues to captivate audiences with his distinctive sound and soul-baring lyrics.
