Career

Everett gained prominence within the indie music culture in late 2013.[1][5][6][7]

Everett has remixed for artists such as Tinashe and Usher.[8][9][10] In 2014, he created the song "What We Want" for the video game Grand Theft Auto V. This song was included for the expanded soundtrack that was a part of the re-release of the game on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 systems.[11] He headlined the San Francisco Noise Pop Festival in February 2013.[6][12]

In 2015, Everett released the single "Red",[13] about which he commented that "I was trying to express a feeling, and I got that more effectively".[7]

He spent the majority of 2016 touring the U.S., playing notable festival gigs such as Shambhala Festival,[14] Beach Goth,[15] Mysteryland, and Ancient Future. He was also credited on Torey Lanez's 2016 single "Flex", featured on his album I Told You. [16]
