His discography includes the albums Beginners (2020), Quitters (2022), and 2024’s Paradise Pop. 10. Critics have described his songs as "small films" and "clear portraits" set to natural melodies. Paradise Pop. 10, named after a small town in Indiana, explores themes of moving forward and leaving behind the "memory graveyard" of Los Angeles for a new life in New York City.Creative CollaborationThe pair shares a deep creative synergy, with their professional lives heavily intertwined.
