At age 17, Talerico disbanded South Florida underground punk band Wallace to focus on developing his rapidly evolving musical interests, exploring a more pop-oriented writing, recording and producing style.

After roughly a year of writing and recording, Brother Sundance released his debut EP Honey on August 11, 2017, garnering generally favorable reviews from critics and music fans alike.

In the first week of Honey's release, Brother Sundance was featured as Apple Music's New Artist of the Week[9] in August 2017, gaining the album track 'Monsters' a spot on Apple's Alternative A-List[10] playlist shortly after, featured alongside Muse, Imagine Dragons, Bishop Briggs and others.

Following these achievements, tracks from Honey were featured on Elton John's The Rocket Hour on Beats 1 in promotion of a string of festival dates scheduled in support of the album.

The Brother Sundance song 'You & Me' was used in an episode of the ABC Family/Freeform drama The Fosters titled "Many Roads",[14] which aired in the show's final season on March 13, 2018.
