His real name is Tiago Miranda, and he was born in Lisbon but lived in Cacém for a few years. He took the first part of his name, Conan, from the Japanese anime film Future Boy Conan, which was directed by Hayao Miyazaki who he shares the same birthday with, although there are 48 years between them. As for the second half of the stage name, Osíris, comes from Egyptian Mythology, the symbol for rebirth and resurrection. As well as a singer, he is a self-taught dancer, songwriter, composer, and producer.

He started out on his music career as Conan Osíris by composing music for fashion shows.
