Troye Sivan: The power of identity

Shownote

Pop superstar Troye Sivan joins Dua to discuss the role identity has played in his life and career, from his Jewishness to his queerness, his Australian-ness, and so much more. Having known Dua for seven years now, Troye’s openness and vulnerability is on full display in an episode that is equal parts affecting and funny. On the heels of the release of his hit single “Rush,” Troye looks back on a life anchored by his various identities, digging deep on personal touchstones and highlights like his beloved YouTube “coming out” video and his changing relationship to faith. He and Dua reminisce on their first time meeting, when Dua opened for Troye’s North American tour in 2016, with some behind-the-scenes stories you won’t want to miss. Troye also shares a list of the things that most creatively inspired him while making his new album, while his guide to his favourite queer spots in Melbourne can be found at service95.com.
