With more than 6.7 billion combined global streams (and counting), Troye Sivan is the face and embodiment of his generation. The award-winning multi-hyphenate is also among the global coterie of ambassadors of the Pasha de Cartier campaign, which debuted in 2020. This illuminating tête-à-tête captures and reveals the talented South African-born artist whose audacious spirit is emblematic of the new youthquake that is shaping the present and future as they unfold before us.
As a YouTuber, singer and actor, how would you describe your different identities and how do you balance them all?
I think, for me, the driving force has always been an insatiable desire to create, no matter the format. That’s manifested itself in a few different ways over time and keeps me really excited about my work. The through-line through all of them is a love and need to process life through making stuff, and the kick I get out of sharing it.
Has your creativity helped you express your true identity?
I found almost all of my identity in creativity. When I was young, in the closet and reclusive, I’d make something as a response. Now the two are so intertwined that I don’t know who I’d be without being able to create.
How did you start your career?
I started performing locally in Perth—my school, my synagogue, etc. I started posting online when I was 12, and things grew from there.
