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. |

− | 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. |

The association with the band even led to Draper writing music sections to form parts of the band’s live set; culminating in one of his tracks being played over the PA system situated at the Reading Festival during Bring Me The Horizon’s performance on the main stage in August 2011. |

This remix repertoire includes his work on Strange Talk, Worship, Bring Me The Horizon, Bluebell, and many more. Each time a remix or production is placed online, within a matter of days it has a vast following via sharing on YouTube channels and Soundcloud embeds linked back to Draper’s own. |

This was his 6th ever live appearance. He was subsequently invited back to support Rita, alongside Iggy Azalea, on her debut headline arena tour. |
