Malcolm Todd isn’t your typical 21-year-old. He’s a new kind of pop star — equal parts internet kid, old soul, and hopeless romantic with a sense of humor. From scooping ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery to dropping viral hits that blur the line between heartbreak and pure fun, Malcolm’s rise has been as unexpected as it is undeniable.

In this episode, Malcolm opens up about his love–hate relationship with TikTok, the origin of his breakout song “Harry Styles,” and how growing up with a Broadway mom and a Deadhead dad taught him to chase feeling over fame. He talks about finding his voice online, why imperfection is magnetic, and what it really takes to stay grounded when the internet decides you’re next.

Don’t miss this conversation where Malcolm talks about:

• Going from Cold Stone shifts to center stage
• The story (and chaos) behind “Harry Styles”
• Balancing viral fame with real connection
• The creative influence of his Broadway mom and Deadhead dad
• Why authenticity always wins over algorithms
• And how sweetness turned into his signature
