With less than an hour until he goes on stage at the incongruous but nonetheless full Chicago House of Blues, for only the twenty-second show he's ever performed, here are two things Troye Sivan has learnt about himself in those 21 previous gigs: he is not alone in this; but he has the power."It feels like with the audience it's push and pull: it's not like here I am, here I am, here I am, I hope that you love it," he says, with barely a trace of his native South Africa detectable through a softened Australian accent."I'm starting to realise that it's a constant conversation and that I have a whole lot more power than I thought I had. I found that if I have a show that is not going great I can turn it around or if I feel that the audience is not maybe responding how I want them to for a certain song, I can change my body position, open up more, look at someone's face in the audience specifically, and change that."

As if the thought has been bubbling away inside for days, maybe over those 21 previous shows spread out over the past year, but still feels odd being articulated, Sivan adds: "I learn a million little things every single night. The goal is just to keep getting better."And better he must be. When the 20-year-old pop singer played in Sydney and home town Perth earlier this year, it became clear that while the songs and studio singing are pretty much right, and his connection with the audience – whether on YouTube where he first made his name three years ago (and now boasts some 4 million subscribers) or on stage – is most definitely there, his stage presentation lacked vocal power and a sense of how to build and pace a show

With a full Australian tour announced, he's well aware of it, too."I'm so far from perfect still, I'm figuring that out every single day," he says, which can mean something as technical as particular mics for particular moments in the show or as practical as realising that when he gets nervous his instinct is to seek support away from the microphone and pull out his in-ear monitor, "literally the two worst things you can do in that situation".If perfection is his goal, Sivan isn't meeting that today when his blue nail polish is healthier looking than he is. Very lean and delicately pretty at the best of times, Sivan doesn't look built to sustain anything harder than a wan wave to the fans who had queued for most of the day in temperatures which hovered either side of 0 degrees.And these aren't the best of times, as the sniffles and cough suggest, especially for someone who was mortified when borderline laryngitis forced him to cancel what would have been his first Australian shows late in 2015.So Sivan nervously laughs that he probably should get another shot of the orange juice with oregano oil and vitamin D and B-12 he's just downed. Maybe he'll schedule that rest in for tomorrow when the tour bus is on the road to Detroit. Or the day after, if time permits.Ha! As if time is his friend. Not that Sivan, who turns 21 in June, is short of "friends", as can be heard from downstairs where a highly primed audience is responding in full voice to Drake's Hotline Bling between chanting Sivan's name.

As with all the other hits being played pre-show, every word is known and every line shared. It's a reminder that this is a fan base that is in some ways unique – in its devotion and fervour – and typical, in that for them Sivan is not in any way different to Drake or Sam Smith or Meghan Trainor.That's the territory Sivan inhabits now. His debut album, Blue Neighbourhood, went immediately to No. 1 on the iTunes chart on the day of release in December and debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard chart, his highest placing outside Australia. Sales are nearing half a million in the US alone.The album was expected to be at least dotted with some radio hits – after all, he'd already had a top five song (in Britain, the US, Ireland and New Zealand) with his first Australian No. 1, Wild – but its overall quality has earned it surprisingly good reviews for someone assumed to be yet another internet meteor with a short lifespan.In turn, it has surprised Sivan that this critical response has meant as much as it has."I think I said to myself that I wasn't going to read any reviews, then the Rolling Stone one came out in Australia and I was pretty stoked," he says. "I think it's like you write these songs and put so much into them, little things, like down to interesting word choices or every little melody or whatever, [but] you do it for yourself because it feels good, and that's what I enjoyed doing, and you kind of wonder if anyone's going to pick up on those things."

Reality bites for TroyeHaving acted in several films, including X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and TV shows, made YouTube videos and now a full album, is there anything Troye Sivan would say no to?"I don't want to do reality shows," he says, before clarifying. "I don't want to star in a reality show; I would do The Voice and stuff. If I did do any sort of documentation I would be in complete control of a hopefully cool and tasteful film. Other than that, I'm really open to anything. I just love being creative and making stuff."I think a lot of my relaxed attitude to it comes from probably that I have done a couple of different things that aren't related to each other. Whether it's the acting thing or the YouTube thing or the music thing, I feel like at one particular time I was pursuing those things completely separately of each other and finding a lot of joy in all of them, so I'm sure one day I'll want to dabble in graphic design, retouch photos for people or something."Whatever floats my boat at a particular time, if I get lucky enough to do it."Troye Sivan is at the Hordern Pavilion, Sydney, on August 3; UC Refectory, Canberra, on August 4; Riverstage, Brisbane, on August 6, University Great Hall, Wollongong, on August 7; Margaret Court Arena, Melbourne, on August 9; AEC Theatre, Adelaide, on August 11; HBF Stadium, Perth, on August 13. Tickets go on pre-sale from April 14 and on regular sale from April 18. Bernard Zuel travelled to Chicago courtesy of EMI.
