From NPR.

Just months after the April 2025 release of his debut album, “Love on Digital,” Destin Conrad dropped his second studio album, a jazz project titled “wHIMSY.” Both albums climbed the charts, and Conrad snagged a Grammy nomination for best progressive R&B album for “Love on Digital” — his first as a solo artist.⁠
⁠
In an interview with “All Things Considered,” Conrad said he sometimes wondered if people wouldn’t take him seriously as a musical artist because of his history on the former video-sharing app Vine, where Conrad shared quirky jokes and clips of himself singing samples with more than one million followers.⁠
⁠
Fast-forward to today and Conrad’s singing stands alone — as he explores his artistic evolution and growing music stardom.⁠
