Before even graduating high school, Getter has spun at sold-out shows in San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, Santa Cruz, and his hometown of San Jose. Like fellow boy-wonder electro producers Sonicc and Porter Robinson, Petulla has impressed many people in the industry and countless electronic music fans with his unquestionable talent at making high quality dubstep music at such a young age.
He gained recognition when he released songs on labels such as Ultragore Recordings and Tuff Love Dubs. In an interview, he said "I basically started when I was 16. I was in a few bands before that; I was a drummer and a guitar player. I was a huge metal head and I loved rap like Mac Dre and Andre Nickatina. You could make electronic music by yourself, so that really attracted me towards it and made me want to do my own thing". He said "As soon as I picked up a guitar I knew I wanted to do music. I have always done art, whether it’s music or drawing, so it all came pretty natural".
Quickly Petulla’s talent was recognized, and his tracks started gaining hype far beyond his high school’s halls. Petukka was signed by Vital Management in August 2010. Since joining Vital, he has opened for the best artists in dubstep today, such as Rusko, Downlink, Eprom, Subvert, Noah D, Nit Grit, Megalodon, and Borgore — not to mention sharing the stage at Vital SC’s Wobbleland with world class talents Skrillex, 12th Planet, and Nero, among many others.
Petulla later signed to Datsik's label Firepower Records in 2012, while also releasing through other labels such as Rottun Recordings and OWSLA. In 2017, Petulla launched his own record label, clothes shop, and artist collective known as Shred Collective. He also produces and performs hip-hop under the name Terror Reid.
He regularly uses heavy bass and “gnarly” synths in his music. Petulla's style of producing/DJing has evolved through the years from massive dubstep tracks to a diverse assortment of genres which culminate to an ethereal, trap-light sound that still contains hard-hitting dubstep roots. Recently, he's been dabbing into more of an experimental style of reverb and bass while assimilating a variety of beats. His debut album Visceral is a testament to this newer style.
In April 2019, Petulla cancelled his Visceral Tour early after getting booed by a large number of fans at several venues who were not in favor of his changed music style, and in a tweet said that the Visceral Tour would be his last tour. There was an outpouring of support for Petulla from the EDM community in reply to his tweets shortly after. A large number of artists have also stated their support towards Petulla on Social Media, including Jauz, Lost Kings, Joyryde, Dave Dresden, Tommie Sunshine, 1788-L, Svdden Death, Kayzo, Ghastly, Rezz, Modestep, Herobust, Louis the Child, Feed Me, Delta Heavy, Zeds Dead, Excision, and Alison Wonderland.
In October 2019, Petulla teased the release of a single "When It's All Gone" on his social media platforms. The track was released on October 16, and was included in a vaguely teased Terror Reid album that was rumored to release in 2020. Petulla also released "Heartless" on October 29 as a single track, and a return to the now enjoyed music style that Petulla used in Visceral.
Petulla was also known on the app called Vine, in which he amassed over 400 thousand followers and had his videos watched over 376,500,000 times. Vine was also the platform Petulla first founded the phrase "Suh Dude" which he and his best friend, Nick Colletti, sell as a part of merchandise for their clothing brand.

And I'm sorry for that
Things just haven't been the same
Since I got my mind back
And I try to hide the pain
But I'm never good at that
You can love me, you can hate me
I just want my soul back
Who the fuck is in my head?
Planting seeds of deceit
I guess this must be the end
They say the grass is always greener on the other side
But every time I try, I go colorblind
I was wrong
And I'm sorry for that
Things just haven't been the same
Since I got my mind back
And I try to hide the pain
But I'm never good at that
You can love me, you can hate me
I just want my soul back
And if there really is no God
Who the fuck is in my head?
Planting seeds of deceit
I guess this must be the end
They say the grass is always greener on the other side
But every time I try, I go colorblind
I've been having fucking trouble sleeping
Every thought, that's in my head
Is telling me to lose my grip and just end it
No God to pray to, I have nothing left
I thought this life was something more than itself
I'm going crazy, can't trust myself
So please just let me go, and try to find hope
If I lose myself I know that I'll always be alone
(Fuck)
The lyrics to Getter's song "Colorblind" explore themes of self-doubt and inner turmoil. The singer acknowledges their wrongdoing and apologizes for it, but notes that things have not been the same since they got their mind back. Despite trying to hide their pain, they are never good at it. The singer is struggling to understand their place in the world and the presence of a higher power, questioning who is in their head if there is no God. They feel as though they are at the end of their rope and going crazy, unable to trust themselves.
The repeated reference to going colorblind suggests a loss of vibrancy and vitality in the singer's world. They may be experiencing depression or other mental health issues that are making them feel as though there is no hope. The repetition of the opening lines reinforces the idea that the cycle of self-doubt and pain is ongoing and difficult to break.
Overall, "Colorblind" is a powerful reflection on the struggles of mental illness and the search for meaning in a world that can feel overwhelming and confusing.

I was wrong
I made a mistake
And I'm sorry for that
I apologize for my mistake
Things just haven't been the same
Life has changed since then
Since I got my mind back
Since I regained clarity and reason
And I try to hide the pain
I attempt to conceal my suffering
But I'm never good at that
I'm not successful in hiding my pain
You can love me, you can hate me
My feelings towards others are inconsequential
I just want my soul back
I yearn for a sense of identity
And if there really is no God
If religion holds no answers
Who the fuck is in my head?
Who is responsible for my internal struggles?
Planting seeds of deceit
Sowing lies and deception in my mind
I guess this must be the end
Perhaps this is my fate
They say the grass is always greener on the other side
People often dream of a better life or situation
But every time I try, I go colorblind
However, each attempt to improve only results in disappointment
I've been having fucking trouble sleeping
I struggle with insomnia
Every thought, that's in my head
My mind is consumed with negative thoughts
Is telling me to lose my grip and just end it
I'm experiencing suicidal thoughts
No God to pray to, I have nothing left
I have lost faith and feel alone
I thought this life was something more than itself
I expected something greater from life
I'm going crazy, can't trust myself
I'm losing my mind and feel unreliable
So please just let me go, and try to find hope
I'm asking for release and for others to find hope
If I lose myself I know that I'll always be alone
I fear that losing myself will result in perpetual loneliness

This transform depression and sadness into pure rage, and I love it. The sudden transition from edm to metal shows his turning point of feeling sorry for himself, then feeling rage at his feelings rather than being stuck in a rut of depression. Honestly, I may be sounding too sappy, but I find this contrast of catharsis beautiful.

Just take both. Ultra depressionman leggo
Stick
Keep in mind though, if depression changes into rage that could just be a change in type of depression. It can be expressed both in sadness or in anger.

Awesome interpretation, fren
