Whitmer began creating music in 2017, releasing his debut studio album KILL! in 2020.

Following this success, he released THE WALLS HAVE EYES (2023), BITTERSWEET (2024), and EYESORE (2025).

Musical style

Whitmer's music is described as being a mix of trap, grunge and heavy metal, often incorporating yelling and screamed vocals.^[2] He cited Future, Tyler, the Creator and Nirvana as being some of his biggest influences.^[3]^[1] While initially rooted in aggressive trap metal, Whitmer’s later work shifted toward a melodic alternative grunge sound. This evolution features a greater use of acoustic instrumentation.
