In 2026, Wren released his debut album, Second Adolescence, a pop album centered on themes including identity, self-acceptance, adulthood, heartbreak, and personal reinvention.[2][3]
Career
Studio vocals, arranging, and composition
Wren studied music composition and choral conducting at California Baptist University, also serving as the Graduate Composer in Residence from 2015 to 2017. His choral and solo arrangements have been published by Alfred Music and Excelcia Music.[4][5]
In 2018, Wren was selected as an original member of DCappella, Disney Music Group's a cappella group, whose debut album was released by Walt Disney Records.[6][7][8]
Solo recording artist
In 2026, Smith began releasing original pop music under the stage name Connor Wren. This new name was derived from his full name, Connor Warren Smith, with a nod towards the Wren songbird.[9]
Wren released several singles including "Polaroid Ghosts", "Body Language", "POV: Disassociating", and "Your Sunrise Is Coming", ahead of the release of Second Adolescence.[9] Instinct Magazine described these releases as part of Wren's return to original music after working as a background and session vocalist.[6]
Second Adolescence was released on April 3, 2026. Critics described the album as a "cinematic culmination of bright pop tracks", as well as a "heart‑pounding pop album bursting with bright synths, soaring vocals and emotional honesty".[3][10]
In May 2026, Wren released a music video for "Skyline Heart", the opening track from Second Adolescence showcasing the city of Los Angeles.[11][1][12]
