Labelled the Right Now National Tour, he held concerts in Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. His debut album to be released in-stores nationally was Startup Cult in July 2014, which a week after its release reached number 3 on the ARIA Albums Chart.[5] It was supported by a headlining tour around Australia.[7] In December 2014 he released the single "Wolves" featuring Sunni Colón).[8] He featured on Tasmanian singer Asta's song "Dynamite" in 2015.
