DESTIN CONRAD EARNS FIRST SOLO GRAMMY NOMINATION FOR DEBUT ALBUM ‘LOVE ON DIGITAL’
Multi-talented singer-songwriter DESTIN CONRAD continues his breakout year, earning his first solo Grammy nomination for his debut album LOVE ON DIGITAL (EMPIRE), a project that has reimagined modern love through an R&B lens and positioned CONRAD as one of the genre’s most forward-thinking voices. Nominated for Best Progressive R&B Album, he stands among a new class redefining the boundaries of contemporary R&B and the future of soul.
Blending early-2000s nostalgia with next-gen production, LOVE ON DIGITAL explores connection in a digital-first world, one shaped by FaceTime calls, voice notes, time zones, and touchscreens. With features from Kehlani, Lil Nas X, Teezo Touchdown, and serpentwithfeet, CONRAD weaves humor, heartbreak, and vulnerability into every hook, creating an intimate portrait of love in the modern age.
Debuting at #3 on Apple Music’s R&B/Soul Albums chart and #7 on Spotify’s U.S. Albums chart, the project has amassed over 50 million global streams to date. From the joy-fueled anthem “BAD BITCHES” featuring Kehlani, to the queer love celebration of “KISSING IN PUBLIC,” the simmering longing of “DELUSIONAL,” and the emotional push-and-pull of “THE LAST TIME” featuring Teezo Touchdown, every song captures a vivid portrait of connection and disconnection in the modern age. Cinematic yet intimate, LOVE ON DIGITAL solidified CONRAD as one of the most essential new voices in R&B.
CONRAD’s breakout year extends beyond the music. He’s been featured in Billboard, Essence, EBONY, V Magazine, MTV, GENIUS, and Apple Music’s Nadeska, with cover stories in Notion, Yams Magazine, Spotify’s RNBX Magazine, and Gay Times. DESTIN has expanded his reach through standout moments like his COLORS performance of “MAKE IT UP”and a nationally televised interview with ABC News Live. He’s earned spots on GRAMMY.com’s 10 Rising R&B Artists,FADER and OUT Magazine’s Songs of the Summer lists for “BAD BITCHES,” and Okayplayer’s Top Songs of 2025 for “KISSING IN PUBLIC.” CONRAD also appeared inPinkPantheress’ “Romeo” video and continues his ascent with high-profile collaborations, including Who Decides War, D’USSE, and NYX Cosmetics.
DESTIN CONRAD’s LOVE ON DIGITAL headline tour,produced by Live Nation, wraps its sold-out North American run this week following major stops in Houston, Nashville, Atlanta, Brooklyn, Toronto, and Chicago. The European leg kicks off December 3 in Oslo, with dates in London, Paris, and more before closing December 16 in Manchester, supported by West London R&B vocalist Cari. Tickets available at destinconrad.com.
Raised in Tampa, Florida, DESTIN CONRAD first gained attention on Vine before writing for Kehlani’s Billboard No. 2 album It Was Good Until It Wasn’t and releasing his debut project COLORWAY in 2021. He’s since built his own lane with SATIN and the dual projects SUBMISSIVE and SUBMISSIVE 2,cementing his reputation as one of R&B’s most innovative new voices. His latest project, wHIMSY, continues that evolution, debuting at No. 3 on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Chartand No. 1 on Apple Music’s Jazz Chart, blending jazz textures, playful arrangements, and his alter ego MR. E into a sound that defies genre. With LOVE ON DIGITAL and wHIMSY, CONRAD is shaping a new era of artistry defined by honesty, experimentation, and fearless creativity.
