karaoke machine, recording instrumentals on one microphone and his raps on the other. On

real name. On August 2, 2011, he released his debut single "Alone". The song featured songwriter
and producer Tommee Profitt and Brooke Griffith. In 2012, Feuerstein's work attracted the attention
of Xist Music. On May 2, 2012, he released his debut extended play I'm Free with production work
from Profitt. The tracklist consisted of nine songs including "Alone". The EP also included an exclusive
version of "Alone" featuring Sean Simmonds. Xist teased for the release of the self-titled extended
play, NF, but Feuerstein parted ways with the label after a dispute and the production of NF was
postponed.[5][10] Despite this, NF featured a song "Only One", featuring Shuree Williams, in the
