Career

Before making music as OMFG, he would make music under the alias of ElectroPhant, sometimes referred to as PhantBass. One of the songs released under this alias was a dubstep track titled "Chocolate Chip Pancakes", released sometime during or before August of 2013. [4] The melody from this track would later be reused in the OMFG song "Pancakes", definitively linking the two aliases as being operated by the same individual.

In 2014, he released "Hello" which was immediately known and reposted by MrSuicideSheep where the song became more known on the internet and YouTube.

In 2015, he released "Yeah", "I Love You", and "Ok" as singles. [5] [6] He briefly convinced the public he was a woman named Kylee Boettcher until it was revealed he was a man named Loell Bergen. In a Q&A video, he hired her in response to a lack of female electronic dance music producers. [7]

In 2016, he released "Stardust" "Jelly" and "Everybody". [8] [9]

He has a TikTok account under the name "talkboxguy" which was active until February 7, 2021.
