Conan Gray is a Japanese-American musician and YouTuber born in San Diego, California on December 5th, 1998. At one and a half years old, Conan and his family moved to Hiroshima, Japan to care for his grandfather who was diagnosed with cancer. Conan and his family moved back to California shortly after his grandfather’s passing. To add to the misfortune, his parents later divorced.

In sixth grade, he and his mother’s family moved to Texas. There, on January 20th, 2013 he started what was then called ConanxCanon.

He previously attended UCLA and he has a YouTube channel where he makes videos about his art portfolios, high school/college advice, Babble & Bake, Art-Tea, music covers, original songs, music videos, thrift store clothing hauls, and much more.

His first cover on YouTube was of “Make You Feel My Love” by Bob Dylan, and was posted on November 20th, 2014.

Much of his music is written about situations he has gone through or that people close to him have gone through, which translates to many of his tunes being on a rather sad note.

His debut EP, Sunset Season, was released under Republic Records on November 16, 2018. It features the previously released singles “Idle Town” “Generation Why”, and “Crush Culture”, as well as two other songs — “Greek God” and “Lookalike”.

Conan’s debut album, Kid Krow, was released on March 20, 2020. It included the singles “Checkmate”, “Comfort Crowd”, “Maniac”, “The Story” and “Wish You Were Sober”, as well as 5 other songs and 2 interludes.

Conan Gray’s sophomore album, Superache, was released on June 24, 2022, under Republic Records. It has five singles including “Astronomy”, “People Watching”, “Jigsaw”, “Memories”, and “Yours”, as well as five other songs.

The first hint of Gray’s next era of music came with the single “Never Ending Song,” which, after a number of teasers, was released in May 2023.
