Troye Sivan + Leland | A Look Inside Their Creative Partnership + How “Rush” Started With a DM

Troye Sivan and Leland make emotional, euphoric, deeply honest pop. But more importantly? They know how to build a creative partnership that blurs the line between friendship and songwriting. In this episode of Unfamous, Justin Tranter sits down with the longtime collaborators to talk about how their relationship fuels their music, from their first chaotic session to crafting songs like “Rush” and “Bloom,” and why the best ideas often come from surprise, trust, and letting things get a little weird. It’s about creative shorthand. It’s about pushing each other past instinct. It’s about chasing feeling over formula and staying honest even when imposter syndrome creeps in. And it’s a real look at how two artists build something lasting by choosing curiosity, joy, and each other over ego. If you love pop culture, music, and the messy, magical truth behind how things get made, this one’s for you. Follow, subscribe, like and comment wherever you watch and listen.
