He grew up in an Orthodox Jewish family, though he is not religious—his father was born into a Jewish family of Lithuanian-Jewish descent, and his mother converted to Judaism. Sivan was a student at Carmel School, a private Modern Orthodox school, until 2009, when he began distance learning. Sivan is a Hebrew calendar month that became his surname.

Sivan was signed to EMI Australia, a Universal Music Australia label, on June 5, 2013, but it was not revealed until a year later. TRXYE, a five-song EP released on August 15, 2014, was led by its first single "Happy Little Pill," which was released on July 25, 2014. TRXYE debuted at number one on iTunes in more than 55 countries. The following week, the EP debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200, giving Sivan his first Top 10 album. "Happy Little Pill" reached number ten on the ARIA Singles Chart and was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association for shipments of more than 35,000 copies. On September 4, 2015, Sivan released his second major-label EP, Wild. The EP was accompanied by a music video trilogy titled Blue Neighbourhood, which included the three songs "Wild," "Fools," and "Talk Me Down" and was released between September and December 2015. The EP also served as a precursor to his debut studio album Blue Neighbourhood, which was released on December 4, 2015. "Youth" peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Sivan released the single "My My My!" along with a music video on January 10, 2018. His then-boyfriend, American model Jacob Bixenman, inspired his second album, he confirmed. Pitchfork described his vocals as "assured," and NPR Music called it "an infectious celebration of sexual desire." NPR also emphasized the importance of the song and music video displaying Sivan's sexual confidence, writing, "It's not every day you see a young, skinny, queer kid get to be completely himself in a music video, and Sivan makes us want to dance along with him." Sivan debuted the song live for the first time on Saturday Night Live on January 20th, as a musical guest in an episode hosted by Jessica Chastain. Sivan later confirmed that "Dance to This," a collaboration with long-time friend Ariana Grande, would be included on his new album. His song "Strawberries & Cigarettes" from the Love, Simon soundtrack was released on March 16th. It was nominated for Best Original Song at the 2018 Satellite Awards. Following "The Good Side," "Bloom" was released as the third single on May 2, 2018. That month, he announced the title of his second studio album, Bloom, while performing as a guest performer with Taylor Swift at a concert in Pasadena, California, as part of her Reputation Stadium Tour. On August 31, 2018, the album was released. "Animal," the album's final pre-release track, was released on August 9, 2018.

For the song, he was also nominated for an Academy Award. Sivan collaborated with British singer-songwriter Charli XCX on the single "1999" in October 2018, and the two also performed the song live on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Sivan collaborated with American singer-songwriter Lauv on the single "I'm So Tired...", which was released in January 2019.

Sivan released "Take Yourself Home," his first single from his fifth EP In a Dream, on April 1, 2020. To create the visual art for his single, Sivan collaborated with freelance artists in need of work during the COVID-19 pandemic. All net proceeds from the single were donated to the WHO COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund and Spotify's COVID-19 Music Relief Project, which Sivan met on Instagram. Sivan released the single "Easy" and announced the release of the concept EP In a Dream on July 15. The EP will be available on August 21, 2020.

Video clips from music

The characters in Sivan's music videos frequently have gay relationships. The trilogy Blue Neighbourhood followed the story of two gay teenagers in a secret relationship, whereas "Youth" featured Sivan with another male love interest. His music video for "Heaven" features footage of historical LGBT movements and couples, as well as sensual shots with him and an anonymous man with the running taglines "Without losing a piece of me, how do I get to Heaven?" and "If I'm losing a piece of me, maybe I don't want Heaven". The singer says these portrayals are important to him, especially when he remembers "such vivid memories of the few times I saw any type of LGBTQ relationship on TV or in music videos" when he was younger.

Sivan released a self-directed music video for his second song, "Easy," from his EP In a Dream on July 16, 2020. In December 2020, a remix of "Easy" featuring country singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves and producer Mark Ronson was released alongside a second music video.
