As a child, Rudberg was a member of the Swedish boy band FO&O and opened for acts like One Direction and Justin Bieber. In March, he signed to Elektra Records and dropped “Red Light,” his first single of 2024.
After performing his first solo headlining show in February in Stockholm, Rudberg has been enjoy taking his high-energy numbers to the stage.

The series, which ended its three-season run in March, centered on the romance at a Swedish boarding school between the fictional Prince Wilhelm of Sweden (Edvin Ryding) and Simon Eriksson (Rudberg), who attends on a scholarship and has a stellar singing voice.
The teen drama became a blockbuster hit for Netflix and especially resonated with LGBTQ+ audiences around the globe.
In his own life, Rudberg feels no need to label his sexuality, despite constant speculation.
“People live in their own fantasy,” he explained to High Snobiety. “[They] think that they know what I am and what my sexuality is. I’ve never said that I’m queer in my life, but people keep on saying that I’m queer. They see me in an outfit and they say, ‘He’s gay.’ They see me in makeup [and say,] ‘Yeah, he’s queer.’”
However, he’s all for the representation and inclusivity that Young Royals has brought to fans.
“I feel like the series has helped people, and I feel like we’ve helped make a change, even if it’s small, and the world is huge, I feel like it’s at least something,” he told V Magazine.
All three seasons of Young Royals are available to stream on Netflix.
