From YouTube sensation to global pop star, Troye Sivan has built a career on vulnerability, sharp pop instincts, and fearless self-expression. Born in South Africa and raised in Australia, Troye first gained attention as an actor and online creator — but it was his music that truly captured the world’s attention.
His breakout EP TRXYE (2014) debuted at No. 1 on iTunes in over 55 countries. He followed up with Blue Neighbourhood in 2015, a debut album full of emotional pop songs that explored love, identity, and heartbreak. Tracks like “Youth” and “Wild” became fan favorites, while his openness about being queer helped many listeners feel seen. His next album, Bloom (2018), delivered bold synth-pop with hits like “My My My!” and the title track “Bloom” — now regarded as a queer anthem.
After a quieter few years, Troye returned stronger than ever with Something to Give Each Other in 2023 — a euphoric, dance-heavy project that featured “Rush,” “Got Me Started,” and collaborations with Guitarricadelafuente and PinkPantheress. The era marked a new chapter of confidence and joy, earning praise for pushing pop boundaries and embracing queer joy unapologetically.
