Ep 22: Ruel takes me surfing!

Ruel and I test the waters - literally. He became my surf instructor for our first date, and we see if our chemistry is better than my balance. Ruel (Ruel van Dijk) is a Sydney-based singer-songwriter who rose to fame as a teenager with his soulful blend of R&B and indie pop, earning an ARIA Award for Breakthrough Artist at just 15. Known for platinum hits including "Dazed & Confused," "Younger," "Painkiller," "Don't Tell Me," and "As Long as You Care," Ruel has toured alongside Shawn Mendes and received praise from Elton John, cementing his place as one of Australia's most exciting young artists. His debut album 4th Wall (2023) debuted at #3 in Australia, and his latest release Kicking My Feet (2025) continues to grow his dedicated global fanbase. He's just released Kicking My Feet & Screaming (2026) which sees Ruel extend his 2025 album.Thank you URBNSURF for hosting our first date!
