After years of being labelled a pop prodigy, Ruel is rewriting his own narrative. The London-born, Sydney-raised singer first broke through as a teenager, but with 'Kicking My Feet' and the upcoming 'Kicking & Screaming', he's embracing big feelings and unapologetic joy. Growing up might just be his best era yet.
