Carson Shmyr is a poet, singer, and multi-instrumentalist from Saskatoon, Canada. He began his music career in 2016 at just 14 years old with his debut single "Chance" recieving airtime on his local pop radio station. In his teens he learned pop and r&b songwriting/production with Capitol Records A&R Roy Hamilton III and scoring for film and video games with LucasArts sound designer G.W Childs. His 2018 single "Sunday Cartoons" was his first to take off, heavily favoured as a first dance song for weddings. The single would surpass 500,000 total streams before Carson's 16th birthday. With the help of TikTok in the summer of 2019, Carson grew an online following of over 250,000 and released his first EP "Breathe" and album "Requiem" in January and May 2020 respectively. The album's lead-off single "Five Seconds" would be Carson's first track to surpass 1,000,000 streams with over a hundred million sound plays on TikTok. Carson was previously represented by MK's Music Management (2020), Horizon Music Group (2021-22) and Remedy Music Label (2023-24) but now operates independantly with his company Lighthouse Productions, who host 150+ events annually across Western Canada.
