Since making his debut in 2017 at the age of 14, Australian pop prodigy Ruel has amassed over 3 billion global streams, headlined several sold-out world tours, collected multiple platinum and gold singles, and earned a string of “the youngest artist to ever…” achievements. With platinum records and awards from the RIAA, ARIA and MTV, as well as First Prize at the 2025 Vanda & Young Global Songwriting Competition, his resume is nothing short of astonishing.

Now 23, Ruel’s global career, audience, and list of industry accolades continue to grow at an unprecedented rate, establishing him as one of the most influential artists of his generation.

Following the success of four EPs and his 2023 debut album ‘4TH WALL’, the October 2025 release of his sophomore album ‘Kicking My Feet’ marked a defining moment in his artistic evolution and made a major impact across the music industry. The project features an all-star cast of collaborators, including Julian Bunetta (Sabrina Carpenter, Teddy Swims), John Ryan (Harry Styles, Shawn Mendes), Kenny Beats (Dominic Fike, Vince Staples), M-Phazes (Eminem, Noah Cyrus), Dan Wilson (Taylor Swift, Adele), and Leroy Clampit (Justin Bieber, Finneas).

Ruel kicked off 2026 with a whirlwind Kicking My Feet North American tour, before heading to South America for performances at LATAM Lollapalooza festivals, alongside a series of surprise pop-up events for fans.

He also recently revealed a major surprise: ‘Kicking My Feet’ is only part one of a double-album project. The follow-up, ‘Kicking & Screaming’, is set for release on June 12, 2026. The upcoming 10-track record signals a bold sonic shift, featuring breakout single “Don’t Say That” and the new, rough-and-rugged anthem “Hate Myself”.

Ultimately, Ruel’s rise to global superstardom reflects a continuous evolution across sound, visuals, and creative concept. There is no clearer expression of this artistic identity than on stage, where his magnetic presence, reminiscent of Mick Jagger and Bruno Mars, has captivated millions of fans worldwide. With a rapidly expanding global audience and a new era underway, Ruel’s status as a defining artist of his generation is firmly established.
