He found his passion for music when he was 12 years old when his cousin let him borrow their acoustic guitar, with which n,n. covered popular emo songs.
He went through school going to and from bands, most of them never getting anywhere. While attending college, he started focusing on his own music, and then the name “nothing,nowhere.” was born. The inspiration for his music comes from blending more of the “heavier hip-hop elements” with “organic instruments,” while the inspiration for his stage name came from philosopher Alan Watts.
Since the inception of nothing,nowhere., he has released four full-lengths—Trauma Factory from 2021, ruiner from 2018, Reaper from 2017, and the nothing,nowhere. lp from 2015—as well as three EPs; BLOODLUST from 2019, bummer from 2015 and Who Are You? from 2016. He has also released many singles, including the popular “Deadbeat Valentine” and “Twenty Something."
He has also released material such as the demo. EP in 2013 and never,forever. EP under the never,forever. name in 2016.
Though some people falsely think that nothing,nowhere. is more than one person, he has on several occasions announced that he is a solo act with touring musicians.

I did it all on my own, no promo
I got fans gettin' tats of my logo
I remember when nobody came to my shows
But I kept on comin' back like a yo-yo
In high school, they would laugh, try to label
Eatin' lunch with nobody at my table
Everyone that used to doubt got a day job
Think it's about time that they go and take me serious
If you not feelin' this, you probably delirious
I'm on one, yes, I'm on one, they could never be
Me, 'cause I'm the reaper in your dreams, 'cause
Think it's about time they trade the clout for sobriety
I can feel the hate buildin' up, it's inside of me
I'm on one, yes, I'm on one, they could never be
Me, 'cause I'm the reaper in your dreams, 'cause
Play the guitar like a young Santana
Reppin' VT like my name Bernie Sanders
Livin' two lives like my name Danny Phantom
All my shit bang like a motherfuckin' hammer
Play the guitar like a young Santana
Reppin' VT like my name Bernie Sanders
Livin' two lives like my name Danny Phantom
All my shit bang like a motherfuckin' hammer
CDG on my feet when I hop out
Me and Jay on the beat, that's a bop now
Whole squad goin' dumb like it's summer school
I got hits, got smashes like a drummer do
OMG, now you see me on the TV
Went from sellin' beats, to now I'm sellin' CD's
I know you see me, know you need me, but believe me
I feel like dyin' like my name Lil' Weezy
