Since the age of 16 years young, Draper had always been intrigued as to how music is made – after hearing songs being played out on the radio he would instinctively go about discovering not just their construction in the sense of instrumentation and lyricism, but also the array of production methods employed on a plethora of different genres. Far from being born into a recording studio environment, he acquired the most basic of sound recording software and began experimenting in collaboration with various underground and grass roots artists.
Two years later, inspired by the stiff competition on producer-based website Indaba Music and the vast numbers of online EDM communities, he became heavily involved in the remixing scene.
After rising through the ranks, he appeared frequently on the winners’ list at Indaba, winning accolades such as runner up on the Laurie Anderson competition judged by Lou Reed, first prize in the ‘Electronic Musician’ and ‘Conspiracy For Good’ original composition contests, and runner up in The Qemists remix competition.
Draper‘s first real musical impact to the world-at-large arrived when he remixed a video commentary by YouTube celebrity Chris Smoove. The remix, entitled Waiting On A Noob, went on to become his first release, reaching the Number 14 spot on iTunes’ Hip-Hop/Rap chart within days of its release.
At the end of 2010, whilst studying at Oxford Brookes University, he released his first digital EP entitled The Introduction. A vibrant online reaction ensued from simply cold-dropping this EP onto the internet, which resulted in the EP being featured on several prominent blogs – ultimately, this brought Draper to the attention of Bring Me The Horizon frontman and Drop Dead Clothing owner Oliver Sykes, who expressed his interest in working with this promising young producer.
