In 2021 he collaborated with Becky G and Tainy on "F is For Friends" for The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run soundtrack and appeared on "My Dear Love" by Bebe Rexha featuring Ty Dolla $ign from the former's second album Better Mistakes. He is currently working on his second album called "Sad Now Doesn't Mean Sad Forever". In June 2021 he released "Fingers Crossed" with American singer-songwriter Julia Michaels. It was accompanied by a music video directed by Grant Spanier. He was then seen on a Music Video with a popular DJ and Record Producer Alan Walker on Alan's song 'Extremes' which released on September 30 for Alan's Upcoming studio Album 'WALKERVERSE PT. II'. In 2023, he collaborated with Neoni for their song Bleach.
