Not surprisingly, Ruel has caught the attention of some of the industry’s most respected individual’s, including icon Elton John and musical tastemaker Zane Lowe both championing his career developments.Īlong with three sold-out world tours, Ruel has shared stages with Khalid, Shawn Mendes, played Tyler, the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw festival, and released collaborations with Denzel Curry, JVKE, Omar Apollo and Cosmo’s Midnight. Sitting with over 2 billion global streams, 1.2 million Instagram followers, and five Platinum records to his name, Ruel is both a seasoned global superstar and a record-breaking musician for tomorrow's generation.Īdd to this stellar collection of bucket list achievements (that most could only dream of), Ruel is also the youngest artist ever to win Breakthrough Artist at the ARIA Awards and the youngest artist to sell out the Sydney Opera House… twice. Since making his debut in 2017 at the age of 14, Ruel has fast become one of his generation’s most influential artists.

These revelations are strikingly obvious in the 4TH WALL singles that Ruel has treated his audience to, including the dancefloor anthem GROWING UP IS _, dream-like LET THE GRASS GROW, the poignant social and personal observations of YOU AGAINST YOURSELF, and most recently, the beautifully emotive ballad MUST BE NICE. I rewrote half of them and re-recorded most of them… It’s been the biggest journey making this record…”. I spent the last 3 years writing it and wound up with over 100 songs. Ruel notes “It took way longer than anticipated to get this record right. His matured identity galvanized the decision to forge his own creative directive, and played a vital part in expanding his musical horizons.

It’s me executing my ideas, instead of trying to execute other people’s ideas in my way.”Įxecutively Produced by long-time collaborator M-Phazes ( Khalid, Noah Cyrus, Remi Wolf), 4TH WALL was originally heading down a Pop/R&B lane, however, the pandemic acted as a major personal and professional conduit for Ruel. The Sydney-bred singer-songwriter speaks confidently about the release’s authenticity “It’s exactly the music I wanted to write… what I had in my head. At twenty years of age and now on the cusp of releasing his debut album 4TH WALL via RCA (ROW) & Sony Music (Australia), Ruel’s discovery of self-assurance is perfectly timed.
