Malcolm Todd Hobert (born September 15, 2003) is an American singer-songwriter and record producer. He signed with Columbia Records after he went viral on TikTok for his 2023 singles "Art House" and "Roommates" — both of which were included on his mixtape Sweet Boy (2024). His self-titled debut studio album (2025) peaked at number 49 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the single "Chest Pain (I Love)", which became his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2026, his 2024 track "Earrings" became a global sleeper hit, reaching the top 40 of the music charts in several countries, including the US (where it peaked at number 22 Billboard Hot 100), the UK, and Canada. That year, he also released his second studio album, Do That Again, which peaked at number five on the Billboard 200. Todd's music is noted for its blend of indie pop and alternative R&B.
