2025 marked a breakout year for sombr, the New York-based artist who quickly rose to prominence with viral, emotionally driven tracks that gained traction on TikTok and climbed the charts. Blending rockstar swagger with pop sensibility, he introduced his sound with his debut album I Barely Know Her, released in August, drawing on ’70s influences across a mix of groovy and introspective songs.
Building on that momentum, sombr made his Coachella debut this spring and is set to embark on his first arena tour later this year, signaling his rapid ascent as a rising star.
