After moving to L.A in 2017 he began to work more closely with James Blake, co-producing and co-writing a number of tracks on the album Assume Form.[5] Through this he worked with Jay-Z on MaNyfaCedGod.[1]

He professes to not listening to much music outside work but has often been forced to in his new role as a producer for research purposes stating: "I don’t know that world very well, so I need to become more familiar with the things that are going on and the techniques people use...It does feel a little bit like research. Another project for James and I, we’re working with this guy Swavay, who’s a really great rapper from Atlanta.”[1]

In 2020 he was announced as co-producer for James Blake's new single 'You're Too Precious'[6] and in May he was announced as the producer of Slowthai's single Bodybag.[7]
