My Take
Sombr is one of those artists who makes you do a double-take when you realize how young he is — born in 2005, which means he was still a teenager when he put out his debut single "Nothing Left to Say" in 2021. He attended LaGuardia High School in New York, the performing arts school that has produced so many serious musicians, and you can kind of hear that foundation in the emotional weight he puts into his writing. His 2023 EP In Another Life, released through Warner Records, showed a real maturity in his songwriting — introspective, a little melancholy, but never self-pitying. The name Sombr suits him perfectly: there's a quiet depth to what he makes that feels rare for someone his age. I'm genuinely curious to see where he goes from here.
