His rise to success may seem quick, but he started planning this journey at just age 16 when he was DJing at his local town in Sheffield, UK.
After getting a few gigs here and there, as well as learning how to produce hip-hop beats, he decided to use his personality on social media to kick-start his career beyond the resident club scene.
After a single viral video, he had major labels wanting to work with him and has continued to build a huge global audience, which is now over 400k followers across platforms.
In 2022, he teamed up with Bugzy Malone for the track 'Out of Nowhere,' which went on to be an official UK Top 10 and has surpassed 50 million streams on Spotify alone.
He has a major record deal and is due to release music in 2024 with some of the biggest house producers in the world. He has launched his own label as well as an events company.
