Troper played in the bands Your Rival and Sancho in the early 2010s and released his debut album Beloved in 2016 through the record label Good Cheer.

[5] Troper embarked on a tour in promotion of the album, but it was cancelled halfway through due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

[10] In March 2024, Troper's ex-partner Maya Stoner publicly alleged that he had been physically and psychologically abusive.

[11][12] Troper was subsequently dropped by his management and publicity team, and Lame-O announced that they would no longer be releasing his upcoming album Svengali.

[14][15] The lawsuit was settled in October of that year, with Stoner formally retracting the allegations via an affidavit and agreeing to a no-contact order.
