Local pop sensation brings acrobatic stage show to Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena

The Monroe-born pop singer-songwriter has garnered national attention since his debut studio album “Fireworks & Rollerblades” in 2024. The album reached No. 6 on the U.S. Billboard 200, with his hit single, “Beautiful Things,” peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

As a former Monroe High School diving team member, Boone has flipped his way into stardom with his eye-popping stage presence, often known for his trailblazing concert attire and dangling from a chandelier above the crowd.

Boone performed “Beautiful Things” at the 67th annual Grammy Awards in February, where he was nominated for Best New Artist.

Boone headlined Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena last year in early October for his American Heart Tour, which followed the 2025 release of his sophomore album “American Heart.” Boone’s second studio album featured hits “Mystical Magical” and “Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else.”

“Mystical Magical” was first debuted on stage at Coachella, where he also brought out surprise guest Brian May of Queen, who joined in on a performance of “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

Boone went on to perform both hits from “American Heart” on the Saturday Night Live stage, where he made his debut as a musical guest for the long-standing program.

In total, Boone has boosted his global stardom with major performances, including opening for Taylor Swift in 2024, and appearances on Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and The Kelly Clarkson Show.
