Ruel

The youngest ever performer on triple j’s Like A Version, the youngest solo artist to win an ARIA Award and, the youngest male artist to sell out 2x shows at the Sydney Opera House in minutes, vocal prodigy Ruel seems to be breaking records for fun. A transcendent new star on an unstoppable trajectory, the London-born, Sydney-based songwriter found himself on the ARIA podium as he took out the 2018 Breakthrough Artist gong for his soul-soaked banger ‘Dazed and Confused’, which landed in in triple j’s Hottest 100 alongside ‘Younger’. Both tunes, taken from his ubiquitous debut EP Ready, were released amongst a tidal wave of hype which began to swell almost immediately around this young singer-songwriter as his extraordinary soul-tinged voice began to filter out and received praise from Sir Elton John, Khalid, GoldLink and Gallant. With these five-star endorsements, it was inevitable that fanbases would start mobilising worldwide and, with the help of ARIA Platinum certified single Younger and heartbreaker Not Thinkin’ Bout You (check out the remix featuring Grammy nominated rapper GoldLink), shows have been selling out all over the globe with the 16 year old wunderkind now sitting on a monsterous 200+ million global streams. Ruel’s latest single Painkiller has made waves gathering over 5 million streams and 4 million video views in the first month alone, proving that the young prodigy is continuing to grow at an alarming rate.
