In 2009, Heringer started writing and recording music that eventually became the debut album by Milo Greene with bandmates Marlana Sheetz and Robbie Arnett.
On December 17, 2015, Heringer announced on his social media that he would be parting ways with Milo Greene to pursue his own projects as well as write, produce and mix with other artists.
The Guest and The Host is Heringer's solo indie folk project recorded primarily at his Beachwood Canyon cabin he calls Mirror Wall Studio.
[8] A number of The Guest and the Host songs have been featured in television shows such as "Looking Out For You" iZombie (TV series),[9] "Love and Laughter" on Kevin (Probably) Saves the World,[10] "Best Friend" on Whiskey Cavalier[11] and "You Bring Me Joy" on Jane The Virgin.
Heringer has started to release music under his own label, Dawson Records, for his project The Guest and the Host as well as his collaborations with Madi Sipes and The Painted Blue and other artists he works with out of his studio.
