We recently connected with Eric Conley and have shared our conversation below.
Eric, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?
My first project Empty Promises it opened so many doors for me & showed me that people actually believed in what I had going on & I loved that.
Eric, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Eric Conley is a 3X Gold RIAA and 2X Platinum songwriter. He has co-written songs such as “STFU,” “Miss The Old You,” and “Mansionz.” An Ohio native, Conley’s unexpected career in music took off shortly after meeting Blackbear in 2012 while on tour with Travis Mills. Snoozegod has worked with major names in the music industry including Blackbear, Machine Gun Kelly, and Mike Posner.
Snoozegod started his career as a videographer and merchandiser. His career would transition into songwriting after he and Blackbear moved into a house in Los Angeles together in 2015. Conley learned how to put tracks together while sleeping at Blackbear’s studio occasionally, shortly after the two would release “Paragraphs,’’ which has over 300K streams on Spotify. Two years later, Snoozegod and Blackbear collaborated to write the Platinum album “Digital Druglord.” After the release of the album, Conley went on tour with Blackbear selling out arenas nationwide. Also in 2017, Snoozegod went on tour with Fall Out Boy. In 2018, Eric moved back to Fremont, OH to be present with his family after the tragic death of his father and grandmother. One of the messages Conley would like to spread is the importance of perseverance when trying to be successful in the music industry.
In 2019, Snoozegod released his first EP “Empty Promises,” which has accumulated over 500K streams across multiple streaming platforms. Since then he has accumulated over 22 million streams on Spotfiy and released two more albums. Conley is currently working to get back into the DJing world. Snoozegod has made 48 editorial playlists on Spotfy, including “LoFi Beats,” “New Music Friday” in Indonesia, Egypt, and Gulf, and “Hyperpop.” His song “Wherever You Are” was featured on the playlist “Pop Somber” on Tidal. Snoozegod would describe his music as pop-fused R&B with adventitious sounds. Eric’s mission is to encourage the younger generations to follow and work to achieve their dreams.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
