ABOUT CONAN GRAY
Nobody has tapped into the thoughts and feelings of his generation quite like Conan Gray. The Texas native has transformed into the quintessential Gen Z singer-songwriter and pop artist by never losing sight of where he came from and designing a world without comparison. Conan turns the page to his next chapter with his fourth studio album, Wishbone, released on August 15th, 2025. Continuing a partnership that dates back to 2018, he welcomed GRAMMY® Award winner Dan Nigro back as Executive Producer for the album, along with producers Ethan Gruska, Noah Conrad, Luka Kloser and Elvira Anderfjärd.
Conan left an indelible imprint on pop culture in 2020 when his debut LP Kid Krow, produced by Dan Nigro, bowed at #5 on the Billboard 200. Kid Krow went Platinum and yielded a series of signature smashes, including the 4x-Platinum “Heather,” 3x-Platinum “Maniac,” Gold-Certified “Comfort Crowd,” “The Story,” “Wish You Were Sober,” and “The Cut That Always Bleeds.” Among these staples, he entered rarified air with “Heather”, which has become one of a handful of songs with 2 billion streams penned by one writer – Conan himself.
With over 12 billion global streams to date, Conan returned to the Top 15 of the Billboard 200 with Superache (2022), Found Heaven (2024), and Wishbone (2025). He has incited the applause of The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Vogue, GQ, V Man, PAPER, The FADER, Billboard, and NPR in addition to performing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers, TODAY, and more. In 2024, Conan took flight as an arena headliner, selling out hallowed venues around the world such as Madison Square Garden, the Kia Forum, and Wembley Arena. A fixture at events like the Met Gala, he is just as uncompromisingly influential as a style icon, embracing a fashion-forward aesthetic like no other. Beyond thriving as a songwriter and performer, Conan also serves as the core creative director for his project, meticulously shaping every layer of his vision for each album era. He continues this trend on Wishbone – 12 self-written songs from a world all his own.
