His music creates a unique sound and heavily uses elements of electric guitar, violins, trumpets, layered vocals, and more, telling stories of love, insecurities, and self-discovery.<\/p>\n<p>Malcolm first gained popularity after two of his songs, \u201cArt House\u201d and \u201cRoomates,\u201d gained a lot of traction on TikTok in 2023. At the time, Malcolm had only released a few songs, such as an EP (extended play) called \u201cDemos Before Prom\u201d and a few singles. Since then, Malcolm has released a number of singles and a couple of albums, including \u201cSweet Boy\u201d and \u201cMalcolm Todd.\u201d One of my favorite things about Malcolm Todd is his music videos. In some, like \u201cRoomates,\u201d he is just messing around with friends, while others, like \u201cCheer Me On,\u201d contain just a single shot of Malcolm showcasing his emotions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ujiJic-KLbQ?si=7Kndxxh-qw2L_jv4\" target=\"_blank\">Malcolm Todd &#8211; &#8220;Chest Pain (I Love)&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/14OBXAjgj7U?si=syCMrBNEzppd5J_m\" target=\"_blank\">Malcolm Todd &#8211; &#8220;Sweet Boy&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/YNfdJXbqru4?si=CJv0-dCksrMUY3cJ\" target=\"_blank\">Malcolm Todd &#8211; &#8220;Original&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/aM9zaRKYppo?si=vKyuqY8jNNFL8M7M\" target=\"_blank\">Malcolm Todd &#8211; &#8220;You Owe Me&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/YRGtgkN-8QU?si=_R9-ZlU7jBvqMQg1\" target=\"_blank\">Malcolm Todd &#8211; &#8220;Roommates&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/IqzfU9T-UEM?si=ThRhpyQ3RcVabqGo\" target=\"_blank\">Malcolm Todd &#8211; &#8220;4Me 4Me&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/uCF2NgQffko?si=gL7iqFmM_S5glZZ2\" target=\"_blank\">Malcolm Todd &#8211; &#8220;Walk to Class&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/a4tdS3IB294?si=tVjwGQ0IjzNdgFsd\" target=\"_blank\">Malcolm Todd &#8211; &#8220;Earrings&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/e6Eeh0K4xUw?si=tw7gTZS81vqU-FTw\" target=\"_blank\">Malcolm Todd &#8211; &#8220;Art House&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/zwVALS_csrw?si=Ki3XRZu9DNVmA1MD\" target=\"_blank\">Malcolm Todd &#8211; &#8220;Florence&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/YCi4erc-QeQ?si=WSjMnxFd5mLA7QYD\" target=\"_blank\">Malcolm Todd ft.
