The first performances under the name of Schmyt are the collaboration with Yassin for the soundtrack to the novel Taubenleben by Paulina Czienskowski, released in February 2020, and Monoton, a collaboration with Megaloh and Majan, released in April of the same year. As his first own song under the stage name, he released Niemand in the same month. The second single was Taximann; like the first single, produced by Bazzazian. According to Schmit, Bazzazian became aware of him through a demo version of Taximann. The single was strongly oriented to Bad Religion by Frank Ocean.
On April 2, 2021, he released the EP "Gift". As the first single release, the title track appeared as a collaboration with german rapper RIN. The song reached number 49 on the German charts.
He was also nominated for the 1 Live Krone in the category "Best Newcomer Act" in 2021.
The music video for "Universum regelt" announced the debut album of the same name, which was released on May 20, 2022. Criticized in the context of it was the romanticization of the helper syndrome in "Ich wünschte, du wärst verloren" and that of violence in "Scherben und Schnittwunden". In addition to Bazzazian, the album features Alexis Troy, The Elements and RGB1 as producers.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ey, yeah
Taximann, Taximann, mh
Bleifuß, Kollege, Bleifuß, Turbo Boost, du weißt, du weißt
Weißt du, bei mir zuhause wartet nichts
Ja, Taximann (Taximann)
Sie sagen, Gedanken können alles besiegen (alles besiegen)
Warum kann ich dann nicht jemand anders lieben?
Lass es brennen, Kumpel, fahr
Fahr zur Hölle, Mann, gib Gas
Taximann, was muss ich zahlen?
Sag, was muss ich zahlen, Taximann?
Kumpel, fahr!
Fahr zur Hölle, Mann, gib Gas!
Das Inferno hält mich warm
Will lieber brennen, als erstarren
Taximann, Taximann
(Taximann, Taximann)
Taximann, ich hab' Schlangengift im System
Welches Gegengift muss ich nehmen?
Drück' aufs Gas, Mann, ich zahl' EC
Und ich hab' keinen Grund heimzugehen
Denn da wartet das Nichts
Kauert im Dunkeln und grinst
Schiebt mir den Ballermann hin
Flüstert: „Du kannst nicht gewinnen“
Ohrenbetäubende Stille
Ich will da nicht hin
Lass es brennen, Kumpel, fahr
Fahr zur Hölle, Mann, gib Gas
Taximann, was muss ich zahlen?
Sag, was muss ich zahlen, Taximann?
Kumpel, fahr!
Fahr zur Hölle, Mann, gib Gas!
Das Inferno hält mich warm
Will lieber brennen, als erstarren
Taximann, Taximann
The song "Taximann" by Schmyt addresses several themes including struggles with love and addiction, hopelessness, and a desire to escape. The singer, presumably in the backseat of a taxi, asks the driver, "Taximann, what do I have to pay?" as he begins to list his problems. He mentions his addiction to snake venom and the fact that he has no reason to return home because there is nothing waiting for him. He also questions why he cannot love someone else and seems to be struggling with his current relationship.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Let it burn, buddy, drive/Fly to hell, man, give gas/Taxi man, what do I have to pay?/Say, what do I have to pay, taxi man?" The singer seems to want to escape his problems by burning everything around him and going to hell but also recognizes that he cannot win against the void and nothingness that awaits him. The song is a powerful depiction of someone who is struggling with addiction and despair and one who seeks a way out but has resorted to dangerous and self-destructive methods.
