A year later, the vio for his sgle, <em>Every Ltle Thg</em>, was premiered by US televisn host Ryan Seacrt, while his subsequent EP, <em>Bee Of You</em>, ma s but on Rad Disney. Wh his sweepg Bieber-que ge, Beatty was beg mould as the next wholome teen star, even ontg a natnal mpaign llg for people to stop textg and drivg.<br/><br/>However, by 2013, aged jt 18, Beatty was already burned out. He qu his management and label, a move that sentially silenced him for three years while var legal wrangl were alt wh. In 2016, he further burst the teen heartthrob bubble by g out as gay — three weeks after the shootg at Pulse nightclub Orlando.

It was also an event that led to his exquise but, 2018’s soft-pop nfectn <em>Boy In Jeans</em>. On a creative roll, he wasted no time on s follow-up, the heady swirl of the multi-layered <em>Dreamg Of David</em>, released January 2020. Dismissive of genre boundari and seargly hont, 's no surprise Beatty ught the ear of some of mic's current inoclasts, om rap llective Brockhampton to profsnal shape-shifter Tyler, The Creator, who ed Beatty's lite vols on 2019's Grammy-wng <em>Igor</em>.<br/><br/>Stg a vast office of a major label north London, cked out head-to-toe Ae, Beatty’s e a long way om those early days pretendg to be someone he wasn't.

I didn't take myself too serly, but I felt a b more ser when I was wrg . I was divg eper to the creative part of myself that really believ what I wre.

I didn't feel nnected to myself then.”<br/><br/><strong>Lookg back at that early YouTube era, are there any posive memori?</strong><br/>“I learned a lot. If I hadn’t been the dtry om a young age, I wouldn't have the knowledge I have now. I wouldn't have the aspiratns I have, bee I had to take that leap — who knows what would have happened if I hadn't done YouTube. Sgg was somethg I was always good at, and has always ma me happy. Anyone n look at that and lgh, I get , but I was a 15-year-old kid who was gettg lns of views and was an excg moment for me. So to regret don't make any sense as 's formed who I am.”<br/><br/><strong>Was hard tryg to figure out who you were, both as an artist and as a person, and do public?</strong><br/>“Absolutely. We all have a sense of who we are and who we really are. We're aaid of makg fools of ourselv, so we create this persona to live up to people's expectatns. It's such a sry feelg to wake up one day and feel like you don't even know how to make a cisn bee you don't know what you do or don’t like.”<br/><br/><strong>When did you realise thgs had to change?</strong><br/>“I was on a plane back to LA om Detro, and I was talkg to my manager at the time and she was the one person, outsi my fay, who was there for me. I said, ‘I know how ep this hole I am right now [is] and orr to get out, I have to make a move now.’ That was 2013. Then three years went by until I was pletely out of any [rerd] al.”<br/><br/><strong>When you were gog through all the legali wh your prev label and management, did you ever thk about givg up on mic?</strong><br/>“I fely nsired dog somethg else, but my heart I knew there was nothg else I wanted to do. I would rather be ad broke and sred, but dog what mak me happy than feelg regretful a steady job. I would have been really sad.”<br/><br/><strong>You me out 2016. Did your songwrg evolve once you were beg te to yourself?</strong><br/>“Comg out unlocked somethg me, allowed me to be hont. I knew my sexualy didn't f wh everythg [my wir fay] believe, so I’d nsired that they wouldn't like . I was beg protective, not only of myself but also of my fay. My parents had my back and they still do. But I grew up relig and for a long time, I thought the way my fay perceived homosexualy, or queer people general, was a certa way, but when I me out I realised I’d been pletely wrong.” <br/><br/><strong>How is now?</strong><br/>“They want to know way too much about my personal life… They need to relax!”<br/><br/><strong>What would your msage be to your younger self, gog through all
