If you haven’t been paying attention to Connor Price, now’s the time to start.

The Toronto-born rapper, actor and self-made artist has been steadily climbing the ranks of the indie music scene, turning TikTok trends into chart-climbing success stories. His latest single, Falling Behind, is no exception—melodic, introspective and packed with the signature wordplay and flow that have made him a viral favourite.

Born and raised in Toronto’s suburbs, Connor Price started in acting (Remember Being Erica?), but his pivot to music has been nothing short of strategic brilliance. By blending razor-sharp lyricism with addictive hooks and leveraging TikTok’s power, he’s built a fanbase that actually engages, streaming and sharing his music at lightning speed.

While Falling Behind is catching fire, Price has already stacked some serious numbers with past releases like:

• “Spinnin” – The viral collaboration with Nic D that put him on radar internationally.

• “Violet” – The cinematic storytelling track that showcased his versatility.

• “Grateful” – A reflective anthem that resonated deeply with fans.

Each drop cements his status as an indie heavyweight, proving you don’t need a label when you’ve got talent, hustle and an audience that actually listens.

With Falling Behind picking up steam, the real question is: Can he push through the indie ceiling into full-fledged mainstream success?

The formula is there. Strong visuals, fan engagement and consistency. If Price keeps dropping bangers with purpose, it’s only a matter of time before Toronto’s next big export is headlining arenas instead of TikTok feeds.

So, is Falling Behind the track that takes Connor Price to the next level? Or is this just another step in his already impressive indie empire?

Let’s discuss.
