In 2019, Avery released a music video accompanying the single "Want 2". Shawn Binder was the director and Joe DeSantis was the cinematographer. In an interview with Billboard, Avery stated he does not want to be labeled as an rhythm and blues artist. In June 2019, Avery released the single "Spilling Out" with a music video. On June 13, 2024, Avery released his second studio album Heatwave which has uptempo electro-pop beats with lyrical content on Avery's experience as a queer person.
