Shortly before Dorgan released his first single "On the Way Down" he had announced several small live shows, but after the success of the single, Dorgan upgraded the venues—every show was sold out and the single entered the top 3 on iTunes. Furthermore the single received substantial airplay, staying in top 20 for more than 15 weeks.

As a young aspiring artist Dorgan was inspired by the Danish singer Asger Rosenberg, whose bohemian lifestyle was reflected in his live performances. Seeing him perform became a defining moment for Dorgan, and in the following years Dorgan followed Rosenberg to jazz clubs.

Dorgan's second single is "Marilyn". Both singles were included on his debut album Painkillers, released in January 2016.
