David Archuleta is done holding back. In this episode, he joins host Caitlynn McDaniel for a candid conversation about stepping into his full self—from navigating public life as a queer former child star to finding joy and confidence through music, raves, and (surprisingly) the Evil Queen at Disneyland.They unpack everything:
- His accidental viral “short king” moment
- What’s hiding in the new single “Can I Call You”
- The queer roots of EDM and why rave culture feels like home
- Letting go of internalized shame (and writing a book about it!)
- How being vulnerable in public has become a form of healing
Plus, David opens up about his Mormon upbringing, his early American Idol experience, and how music has become both his therapy and his way of reclaiming joy.
