Ruel hits the red carpet in a cool look at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Wednesday (May 1) in Las Vegas.
The 16-year-old Australian musician arrived at the music award show just a day after dropping his brand new video for “Painkiller”. Check that out below!
Ruel also released a handful of new tour dates in Australia for this summer.
“cant believe tix went so fast!” he wrote on Twitter. “i read a bunch of ur comments and didnt wanna disappoint you so weve added new shows in adelaide, perth, auckland and 2nd show in melbourne .. signup for presale tickets, soundcheck access and meet & greets: http://scrtsnds.co/RuelPresale.”
The 15-year-old Australian singer-songwriter complied an album of six personal tracks, including “Dazed & Confused” and “Don’t Tell Me.”
“I wrote over 30 songs for this EP, it has been really hard deciding which ones should make the cut, but the decision has been made and I’m really excited for everyone to hear what I’ve been working on,” Ruel said.
“All my songs are about personal experiences. Songwriting helps me get through things, feelings that I don’t understand myself. When I write about something, it helps me figure it out in the process. But I want people of all ages, whether they’re 15 or 50, to be able to relate to my songs,” Ruel explained.

Ruel just dropped his new music video for “Don’t Tell Me” and you need to see it!
The super cute 15-year-old singer hails from Australia and has a voice way beyond his years.
The song was inspired by an evening spent at the dinner table telling family about a girl he had a crush on.
“My whole family was like, ‘Ruel, you don’t know what you’re talking about, you’re way too young to think about that sort of stuff.’ And that really frustrated me. I thought ‘they can’t tell me how to feel’, so I wrote a song about it. I never thought it would lead to all of this,” Ruel explained.
The song now has over 14 million streams and just won first place in the International Songwriting Competition so we know he’s got big things on the way this year!
