Having taken his stage name from a sword in Dark Souls III, he gained a cult following at the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020 through posting Hyperpop songs to SoundCloud, signing to Interscope Records later that year. Along with his frequent collaborator ericdoa, he's been credited with helping bring hyperpop to the mainstream, though his work has gradually undergone a Genre Shift towards more traditional pop.
