[11][4] He also took violin lessons at school, and despite saying that he was "terrible" at the instrument, he recognized that learning it helped him better understand music theory[4] and allowed him to acquire some compositional skills.

[7] In 2012, while performing at a dive bar in Seattle, they were discovered by Sir Mix-a-Lot, who made it possible for them to record their debut, self-released[12][8] album one year later.

The effort was titled Dream[13][2] and featured DeAndre Enrico on bass and Kai Van De Pitte on drums,[14][12] with Mix-a-Lot producing it[4] pro bono.

[14] Following his debut, he was invited to work with Deep Cotton, but rejected an offer to tour extensively with them in order to focus on his solo career.

[11] Produced by Barrett Martin[8] (who also performed on the record and distributed it via his own label Sunyata[10]) and Jack Endino,[13][16] it also featured the Way, at that time consisting of Bob Lovelace on bass and Ehssan Kirimi on drums,[16] and some guests, such as Scarlet Parke on vocals, Andrew Joslyn on strings and Evan Flory-Barnes on the upright bass.
