Australia-based singer and actor Troye Sivan makes lyrical ambient electronic dance-pop. Born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1995, Sivan moved to Perth, Australia with his family when he was two years old. Home-schooled, Sivan began singing and acting at a young age, but his biggest break came when he appeared as a young Wolverine in 2009's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." A year later, he appeared in the South African film "Spud."

Starting in 2007, Sivan had begun making videos of himself singing, and uploaded them to various social media sites -- eventually garnering over two million subscribers. Concurrent to his videos, Sivan also released two independently produced EPs: 2007's "Dare to Dream" and 2012's "June Haverly." In 2013, he signed a recording contract with EMI Australia, and one year later released his third EP, "TRXYE." The album hit the Top Ten in Canada, New Zealand, and the U.S. In 2015, Sivan returned with his fourth EP, "WILD," which he described as an "opening installment" of the music he planned to release in the subsequent months. WILD included a pair of feature appearances (New Zealand's Broods, Australian rapper Tkay Maidza), and a trilogy of videos were made to accompany the album.
