His single 'Bleed’ from his third album 'Human Herdings' has been streamed over 500k times on Spotify in Germany.

His last album 'L'etre Politique' was released in March 2018. LP, meaning "political being" is as it's title suggests, a political commentary. The album was written over a period of 3 months from Jan to March 2017 and recorded in two weeks in the summer of 2017. It deals with the politics of human interactions, from one on one friendships to more broader global themes of capitalism, war and globalisation. It offers an introspective look on universal issues-political beings, being political and the politics of being.
