He also shared that he was completely overwhelmed because of the massive response to his song “End of Beginning”. The song he wrote around the time in 2021 in his bedroom and did not expected to become such a massive hit on the internet. Before his solo music, he had also worked with a Chicago-based rock band named Post Animal.
