In 2019, he released the mixtape Text While Driving If You Want To Meet God! and debut album Only Diamonds Cut Diamonds. In 2023, under the alias Headache, he released The Head Hurts but the Heart Knows the Truth, featuring AI vocals. In 2024, he followed up with The Road to Hell Is Paved with Good Intentions.
