In 2023, he opened for John Mayer for a portion of Mayer's North American tour. He also performed at the annual Minecraft Live , singing a parody of his song "Let Me Down Slowly" using words from the Minecraft game universe. [15] Additionally, he began releasing tracks from his upcoming album. Currently released tracks include “Different Kind of Beautiful”, “I Sent My Therapist to Therapy”, and "Pick Me".

On May 10, 2024, he released a new album: 12 Notes with new songs such as "Sacrifice Tomorrow", "Pick Me", "In a Little" or "By now" among others.
