[6] In December 2012, he formed pop punk cover band Exit Plan with Tyler Cornell, Jesse McKee, and Jimmy Dixon.

[7] After setting several regional records,[8] he played for San Diego City College in California, pursuing a two-year major in digital audio technology alongside baseball.

While balancing his college career, Anderson continued performing at various San Diego music festivals with Exit Plan.

In September 2014, Anderson and Kelley formed a pop-punk band, Coastbound, with three others – Kyle Hulett, Steven Groot, and Taylor Enzminger.

[13] In late 2015, Anderson and Kelley invited Billy Nally, Harrison Nussbaum, and Nick "Schmizz" Schmidt to join their new project.

[15] Through a friend's housekeeping engagement, Anderson gained access to a professional home studio, albeit without the owner's permission, and the group self-recorded three tracks for an extended play in just three days, with roommate, sound engineer, and Coastbound collaborator Andrew D'Angelo serving as co-producer.

Having depleted their budget, Anderson and his band members attempted to fund their endeavors by participating in medical studies and working minimum wage jobs.

In August 2019, Hoodie Allen's song "You Should Let Me Know" was released, with lyrics, production, and vocals contributed by Anderson,[30] and guitar supplied by fellow Wrecks guitarist Schmidt.

On March 25, 2020, the band's frontman Anderson was featured alongside Hoodie on an MTV Instagram livestream during which he teased The Wrecks' upcoming album.

Anderson resided in Encino of San Fernando Valley[6] with streamers Steven Suptic and Clayton "Cib" James of Sugar Pine 7 until 2021.
