I moved to LA in 2015 and shortly after partnered with D2 Entertainment and10k Projects for my debut release “Growing Pains." Spring 2018 I was on tour opening for Billie Eilish on 26 dates of the “Where’s My Mind Tour, and In 2019, my first independent release came as a collaboration between Australian DJ/Producer Flume, on a track titled “Friends” It became “record of the week” on Beats 1 Radio. “Friends” was followed by a 4 track collaborative EP titled, “Quits” by Flume featuring myself that summer. That project has surpassed 50 million streams on Spotify and I have generated over 100 million streams on Spotify alone across R&B, Hip-Hop/Rap, EDM and Alternative genres.
