Courtney signed a record deal at the age of 19, as the frontman of indie band Dive Bella Dive with Island Records, [11] developing the band's debut album in Los Angeles. However, issues with the producer, Red One, stalled their project and, bound by contractual obligations, Courtney and his band were unable to re-record the material. [12]

The track "Fire" gained unexpected traction after being used in the Bradley Cooper movie Burnt, which enabled Courtney to quit his retail job and sign a deal with Virgin Records. [11]

[14] "Glitter & Gold" also reached #1 on the UK Spotify Viral Chart, and #2 on the iTunes Alternative Chart. [15]
Also in 2015, "Fire" was featured in the Bradley Cooper movie Burnt [16] and went on to receive airplay on American rock radio in 2016. To date[ when? ], "Fire" has been streamed more than 68 million times on Spotify, while "Glitter & Gold" has been streamed more than 98 million times. Courtney played at the SXSW Music Festival in Austin, Texas, in a showcase for NME magazine in March 2016 [17] and performed "Fire" on Conan O'Brien's TBS talkshow Conan in June. [18] In 2017, Courtney was hailed as a "stomping, swaggering rock & roll balancing act teetering between blinding light and total darkness," In early 2017, the It's All Indie website selected Courtney as its #1 Sound of 2017. [19]
Courtney has opened for artists including The Who, [20] The Libertines, Ed Sheeran, The Lumineers, Tom Odell [21] and Fitz and the Tantrums, [22] and opened for Blur at the closing party for the 2016 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
