His first professional gigs were playing guitar for Jared Evan, Cody Simpson, and Justin Bieber.

Watt then rose to further fame as a music producer. Watt produced Ozzy Osbourne's album Ordinary Man which was released on February 21, 2020.
Watt won the Grammy Award for Producer of the Year in March 2021. He contributed to the tribute album The Metallica Blacklist, released in September 2021, by backing Miley Cyrus on a cover of the Metallica song "Nothing Else Matters". Consequence called Watt the "Producer of the Year" in 2022.
