Tanner got his start in music singing and playing guitar in church. From there he went on to record covers to upload to his YouTube channel, which started gaining him his first traction.

Tanner’s debut EP titled Perkins Point came out in the summer following his junior year of high school. Tanner sat in his room all summer mixing the songs he had been writing over the course of the year, although he had no previous experience with a DAW.

Over the course of Tanner’s senior year of high school, he began working more on the craft of production. This resulted in his second EP titled Boulder Lake being filled with more of a pop influenced sound. The track “friends” gained traction from being included on a Top Songs of 2019 playlist that received over a million views on TikTok.

Tanner’s third EP titled The Springs came out after his first year attending Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. This EP is a chronological story through Tanner’s freshman year. Tracks such as “last year” and “without one” are known to be favorites among fans as they represent the melancholy of some freshman years.

Tanner’s highly anticipated fourth EP titled Stuck released on August 20, 2021. After releasing music for over three years, Tanner was excited for the buzz that was starting to come around him as an artist. The title track “stuck” is about Tanner’s long distance relationship during quarantine and how they were stuck apart from each other.

Tanner’s fifth EP titled Diamonds released in early 2022. The title track “diamonds” started racking up streams due to a few big playlists such as “I see red” and “Pop Chillout.” A fan favorite of this project was “need you around” which focuses on the start of a relationship and how everything feels brand new.

Tanner’s sixth EP titled Too Long came out a few months after Diamonds on April 8, 2022. This project included more of a dance vibe with 808s and programmed drums.

After graduating as an audio engineer at Belmont University, Tanner released his seventh EP titled Over You. This project came out on his twenty-second birthday on June 27, 2022.
