But what about a future collaboration? With Sombr a big fan of Buckingham, the musician noted that the topic had been discussed. “I don’t know. We both have schedules. He reached out to me a few months back and just wanted me to know I’d been a big influence on him. And he did mention something about getting together to do something.”

While some fans started to get excited by the statement, the collaboration was only an idea for now. “I don’t know what form that will take, or if it will take at all. So we will just have to wait and see.”  

No matter what the future held for Sombr, the singer won over fans not with just his talent, but his respect for those who paved the way. “Bowing down to an absolute legend like Lindsey Buckingham is pure class!  From one generational songwriter to another, passing the torch like this is such an iconic moment.

Seeming to be the start of a lasting career, Sombr left the event with more than just an award. He also left with the possibility of one day sharing the studio with one of his musical heroes.
