If you're over 25, then you probably wondered "Who was that?" after up-and-coming pop star Troye Sivan's Billboard Music Awards performance. The 20-year-old has over 10 million combined followers on social media, a diehard fanbase amongst millennials, and some pretty jaw-dropping pipes, so he's definitely somebody to watch. If you're worried about missing the Troye train, don't worry - here are a few facts to know!

1. He gained popularity on YouTube before finding musical success. He's got 4.5M subscribers on his channel, which features everything from vlogs to collaborative challenges with other popular YouTubers.
2. He was born in South Africa, but he's lived with his parents in Australia since he was a toddler.
3. He's openly gay, and uses his various platforms to raise awareness about LGBT issues.
4. He acts on the side, and played a young Hugh Jackman in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
5. He's only going to get bigger from here! Troye is currently wrapping up an international tour, and will be diving right into another one (in the US and Canada) this Fall.

Suffice it to say . . .
