Something To Give Each Other

It’s something of a marvel to trace the trajectory of Troye Sivan’s pop career. Only a decade ago, the singer-songwriter sat poised in front of his camera, the “most nervous” he’d ever been in his life. He was coming out to his YouTube followers in a video that now has more than nine million views, three years after he’d told his family he was gay. What viewers didn’t know is that it was also a surreptitious way to get ahead of a potential issue with EMI Australia, with whom he was negotiating for a record deal and feared would tell him to stay in the closet.
