A new star is rising: meet Sombr—real name Shane Bus. At 19, this New Yorker from the Lower East Side trained at LaGuardia High School for vocal performance. He spent his teens writing songs about love and self-discovery in his bedroom. His track *“Back to friends”*, released in December 2024, went viral this past spring, coinciding with his North American tour opening for Daniel Caesar and a European leg with Nessa Barrett. Now, his new single *“Undressed”* is gaining fast traction on social media. Both songs, inspired by one girl who ended their relationship, have sparked over 500,000 user videos. Fans use his music to share personal stories—of friendship, romance, and unrequited feelings—fueling new TikTok trends. #NewMusic#TikTokViral#Sombr FirstPass
