Biography
Who is Conan Osíris?
Real name and early life
The artist was born Tiago Emanuel da Silva Miranda on January 5, 1989. He grew up in Lisbon, Portugal, and spent a portion of his high school years residing in the town of Cacém. His professional moniker combines the name of the protagonist from the Japanese animation Future Boy Conan with the identity of the ancient Egyptian deity Osiris.
In 2010, he completed his academic studies in graphic design at the Polytechnic Institute of Castelo Branco. While attending classes at the institute, he met Rúben de Sá Osório. This acquaintance eventually became his personal designer and dresser for his public appearances and projects.
Musical beginnings and style
Conan Osíris taught himself the craft of songwriting through a process of trial and error. He used the computer software program FL Studio, also known as Fruity Loops, to develop his sound. His musical path officially began in 2008 when he formed a group called Powny Lamb alongside Rita Moreira, who performs under the name Sreya.
The duo released their only extended play titled Cathedral on the platform SoundCloud in 2011. He later adopted his well known stage name during the creation of the track Secluded. This song was composed specifically for an Iuri fashion show during the 2013 ModaLisboa event. He continued to produce compositions for various fashion presentations, including works for designers Hibu, Gonçalo Pascoa, and Valentim Quaresma.
Career development and Eurovision
In 2014, the musician released the EP titled Silk, which contained five songs previously used for fashion shows. This collection also featured the track Amália, which was the first song where he sang in his native language. He recorded this particular song using a microphone from the video game series SingStar. He followed this in 2016 with his first full-length studio album, Música, Normal.
From 2012 until 2018, he worked at a Lisbon retail location for the sex shop chain ContraNatura. Following the release and success of his second album Adoro Bolos in late 2017, he left his retail job to focus on his music full time. That second album drew significant attention, leading to television appearances where he performed songs like Borrego and 100 Paciência.
