On July 4, 2012, O'Connor released his eponymous debut album under the alias "BONES". From 2012 to 2014 he released 12 albums before gaining journalistic attention for his 2014 album "TeenWitch," which gained controversy for its themes based around the Columbine High School Massacre. The album following "TeenWitch", titled "Garbage" was released on June 9, 2014 and was the first of O'Connors albums to gain the attention of major music publications such as Complex Magazine and The Fader who labelled the project as "massive" and "boundary-pushing." In April 2014, O'Connor, along with TeamSESH producer GREAF formed "surrenderdorothy", a side project that is notably less focused on rap, with a stronger focus on acoustic guitar and singing, with stylistic similarities to indie rock and emo rap. Although O'Connor does experiment with this style in his solo work, surrenderdorothy features it much more predominantly. Since 2014, the duo have released 6 EP's as surrenderdorothy.
