It held the #1 spot on the Alternative Radio chart for a staggering five weeks, and notably reached the top spot after 10 weeks, marking his first #1 and the quickest Alternative Airplay accession for a musician making their debut on the tally in nearly a decade. Meanwhile, “undressed” continues to climb the charts, approaching 500 million streams as it reaches the Top 10 at Top 40 Radiosombr performed “Undressed” on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! 

After selling out his North American and European headline tour pre-sale instantly, sombr will perform at venues around the world this fall, including at New York’s Gramercy Theatre, back-to-back nights at New York’s Brooklyn Steel and Los Angeles’ El Rey Theatre and a show at Los Angeles’ Fonda Theatresombr will then venture Australia and New Zealand in December for more sold-out headline dates.

A New York City-native raised on the Lower East Side, sombr—born Shane Boose—started making music in his bedroom while studying classical music as a student at the prestigious public school, LaGuardia High School. His breakout hit “Caroline” (2022) took the internet by storm, and he has since released a series of EPs and singles, climbing to over 400 million monthly streams across platforms. Now based in Los Angeles, sombr continues to explore young romance and heartbreak through his music—all of which is self-written and co-produced by the artist himself, and released via Warner Records.
